The Baynards of Lackham It is possible that the 'cup of silver and silver gilt' which Edward bequeathed to Elizabeth is the same one but it is far from certain. It wasn't the only costly item he gave to her, she also received his 'bason and ewer of silver parcelled gilt' 282 Fig. 28 The Lacock Chalice c1350 283 ** It is very likely that the cup bequeathed to Robert Baynard is the famous “Lacock Chalice” which has been on loan to the British Museum for decades. The description (see footnote below) fits very well, and the church has always maintained that it was presented to them by a Baynard. Although the church chalice is “a 282 PROprob/11/57. The will was witnessed in 1574, and as Benjamin was added to the list of sons in an undated appendage it must have been written in either January or early February of that year – Benjamin was baptised February 12 th (see above fn258). 283 Photograph by ON Menhinick MBE and reproduced by kind permission of The Friends of Lacock Church and Mr Menhinick, whose copyright is gratefully acknowledged ©The Friends of Lacock Church/ONM 86
The Baynards of Lackham fine piece of medieval plate circa 1350 284 ”there is no such chalice recorded in the survey of church plate carried out by the commissioners of King Edward VI in 1553 285 . 284 Vernon, T (>1971) St Cyriac’s Church Lacock Wiltshire Friends of Lacock Church p15 I thank Mr ON Menhinick, MBE for his kindness in gifting me a copy of this history. Vernon’s date may be a bit early; the British Museum holds that it is a “Standing Covered Cup English, about AD1400-50” and go on to say that During the religious Reformation in England in the 1540,s much of the silver used in churches was destroyed. Therefore this standing covered cup is an extremely rare survival. Originally made as a domestic drinking cup, it was adopted during or after the Reformation as a Protestant communion cup. The new practices of worship demanded a larger cup that could hold sufficient wine for the entire congregation. Strict laws prohibited the use of religious imagery. BM description of the Lacock Chalice The entry in the V&A Catalogue for their exhibition of Gothic Art for England 1400-1547 has Cup and cover, Silver, partially gilt, unmarked; h. 35 cm St Cyriac’s church, Lacock, Wiltshire,On loan to the British Museum, London A plain conical cover sits on the simple hemispherical bowl, which is supported on a trumpet-shaped foot. Cast and gilt crestings of Gothic foliage with twisted ropework decorate the top and base of the foot and the rim of the cover, which is surmounted by a large spherical finial. This is decorated with gilt twisted ropework; the protruding stalk is probably a modern replacement. The elegant simplicity of this cup makes it one of the most beautiful pieces of medieval plate. It is of a type now extremely rare, but which was probably one of the most common forms in the Late Gothic period. Known as a “chalice shaped” cup from its resemblance to a chalice, the form of the bowl probably varied little from the thirteenth century onwards, but the exaggerated lid, finial and foot are typically fifteenth century features. Although it is difficult to date precisely, its form resembles a drawing of 1429, showing a gold cup presented by Henry VI to the Lord Mayor at his coronation My thanks to Dr. J P Catchpole, St Cyriac’s PCC, for making this information available to me and also for pointing out inconsistencies in the previous version of events. These are, hopefully, corrected here 285 Vernon, T (>1971) ibid 87
