Notes for Thomas Garrard:
From the guide to Lambourn Church (1999):
On the north wall of the sanctuary is a fine carved stone memorial to Thomas Garrard, who died in 1583, and
Agnes his wife, who died in 1556. With their kneeling figures are those of their son and daughter. This is one
of the several monuments to members of the Garrard family in this church that form an important and
continuous series extending from 1530 to 1778. The Garrard arms with helm, crest and mantling are clearly
visible and beneath is the inscription: " Three children more at one birth Agnes had, We are all baptised, with
hir in one grave laid." The memorial was restored in 1980 inmemory of Mark Swinfen Morgan by his
children.
Prior to the restoration of 1861 there were memorials to other Garrards set in the chancel floor, among them
the blue stone slab with full length brasses, arms and inscription of Thomas Garrard, d. 1619 and his wife
Anne, d. 1610 that is now fixed on the south wall of the sanctuary.
