"Hic jacet Johannes Albred quondam Twelewever, istius ville. Ob. primo
die Maii, 1400, et Agnes uxor eijus.
"This Twelewever, with Agnes, his wife, were at the charges (people of
all degree being, as then, forward to beautifie the house of God), to
cut, gild, and paint a rood loft or partition betwixt the body of the
church and the quire, whereon the pictures of the crosse and crucifixe,
the Virgin Mary, of angels, archangels, saints and martyrs are figured
to the life: which how glorious it was when it was all standing, may be
discerned by that which remaineth. This, their work of pietie, was
depensild [painted] upon the fabricke, of which so much as is left.
"'Orate.—Johannes Albrede et Agnetis—Soluerunt pro pictura totius hujus
operis superne:—videlicet, crucis crucifixi, Marie, archangelorum et
totius candeleb.'
"The names of some of the saints pourtraied upon the worke and yet
remaining, are these, S. Paul, S. Edward, S. Kenelm, S. Oswald, S.
Cuthbert, S. Blaze, S. Quintin, S. Leodegare, S. Barnaby, S.
Jerome."—From Weever's Funeral Monuments.
