Great Mitton - All Hallows
21 Dec 2024 |
|
The nave of All Hallows Church, with its Early English Gothic style, was built in or about 1270. The chancel was added in about 1295. It has a false ceiling which was installed in 1850. The nave and chancel were tiled in 1845. The chancel screen is believed to have come from Sawley Abbey after the dissolution of the monasteries.
In 1439 a chapel was added on the north side of the Church. This was pulled down in 1594 when Sir Richard Shireburne arranged for the present Chapel to be built as a family mausoleum. The Shireburne Chapel, divided from the chancel by a screen, contains memorials of the Shireburne family who lived at Stonyhurst.
The alabaster tombs were carved by the Roiley workshop of Burton-on-Trent run by Richard and later Gabriel Roiley. About 100 monuments produced by this workshop are known.

The alabaster tomb is that of Sir Richard Shireburne (+.1594) and his wife, Dame Maud. Sir Richard died in the same year that the chapel was rebuilt. Evidently the work had to be done in a hurry to be ready for his interment,
The tomb is a work the Roiley workshop of Burton-on-Trent
