2&0 ANCIENT MEMORIAL BRASSES OF DORSET. 



This brass is now loose, but is, I am informed, shortly to be 

 refixed. There was, Hutchins states, a loose brass, but now lost, 

 to the memory of a Cheverel, as follows : 



" 1bcre Isetb tbe boose of IRicbolas Cbeverel, esq. 

 ano 3ane bis wife, tbe wbicb 3ane oecessgo tbss 

 lffe tbe Y>iii oase of IRovember, in tbe gere of 

 our Xoro (Boo /nMl)c|*%D333, ano tbe sato IRicbolas 

 oeceaseo tbe second oape of January, in tbat same 

 Eere. n wbose souls map ailemiabtg $esus bat>e 

 mercy?. Bmen." 



He was the son of John Cheverel (ob. 2 Henry VII.), of 

 Chantmarle, and grandson of Christian, daughter of John 

 Russell, of Berwick (see Swyre, ante), and he died without issue. 

 His brother Roger is commemorated by a brass still left to us 

 in Piddletown Church, and if this latter brass is in its original 

 position, which is doubtful, Nicholas (above] had a much finer 

 monument than his brother, for Hutchins speaks of "a large 

 carved altar-tomb of Purbeck marble which once stood in the 

 middle of the chancel, but was many years ago taken down, and 

 now forms part of the pavement." 



CORFE MULLEN. 



Haincs mentions no brass here. 



On a small slab is a figure probably of a civilian, bareheaded, 

 in a loose gown with large sleeves, it is very much worn ; below is 

 a small rectangular brass having a portion missing and bearing 

 the following inscription :
