Grace Darling
(1815), the famous lighthouse keeper's
daughter, who with her father rowed in the most
atrocious weather to rescue survivors of the
S S
Fofarshire. She died of tuberculosis in her
27th year and is buried with her parents in the
churchyard. Near her grave is a memorial which
originally contained this effigy, which because of
erosion was moved inside the
church, by Raymond
Smith 1844; the Gothick memorial (by
Hicks 1895)
itself
now contains a
facsimlie. Note the oar.
Above is the monument, with replacement
effigy and the original monument inside the church. |
 |
 |
| Although popularly
stated to be of Sir John Foster who participated in
the First Crusade, the style an armour indicate that
it is of a later date of c. 1325 |

Bywell |
Bywell has two Anglo-Saxon Churches
as well as a Castle.
There is nothing outstanding in either of these churches
but both - especially St Andrew's - preserve a number of
cross slabs. In St Andrew's they are mainly free, being
clamped to the interior wall of the church; while in St
Peter's they are entirely set into the interior wall |

brought into church
With symbols of death and resurrection but
I can't make the text out |
A notice above the stone to Thomas Bewick
tells us that it was brought into the church porch in June 1955
from his grave site, near the west wall of the tower, to
prevent further deterioration. It is to be regretted that the
authorities of St Andrew's Church in Bere Ferrers, Devon have
not given similar consideration to the grave stone of Charles
Stothard (the artist and etcher, famous for his work on church
monuments) which is in a very exposed position and now weathered
to near obliteration and despite a request from a local author
that they did so.
