Summary
| Description |
Monumental brass coffin plate of Richard III Duke (1567 – 19 April 1641), lord of the manor of Otterton, Devon. Otterton Church, now affixed to west wall, originally affixed to his coffin within the Duke family vault in the church (per church leaflet: the bones in the Duke vault were removed and buried in the graveyard in the 19th century). He married Margaret Bassett (d.1619), a daughter of Sir Arthur Bassett (1541–1586), MP, of Umberleigh, Devon. Inscription: Memoriae sacrum Ric(ard)i Duke Ar(migeri) qui obiit 19 Apr(ilis) An(n)o D(omi)ni 1641. reliquit filios 5, filias 2. ("Sacred to the memory of Richard Duke, Esquire, who died (on the) 19th of April in the year of our Lord 1641. He left sons 5, daughters 2"). At the top is an escutcheon with the arms of Duke impaling Basset, with the crests of the respective families above. On the left of the shield are shown the 5 sons, kneeling, and to the right the 2 daughters also kneeling. In the right margin, under a winged hourglass, is a human skull holding in its teeth a cloth inscribed: Omnis caro foenum ("All flesh is grass" (Isiah 40:6)) |
