Summary

Description
English: Mural monument to John Pollard (d.1667) of Langley, Yarnscombe, Devon, and his wife, name uncertain, possibly Sarah Addington. Yarnscombe Church, Devon. The Latin inscription, partly illegible due to damage reads: M(emoriae) S(acrum) Johannis Pollard de Langley, Armigeri, viri integerrimi (virtut)e quam Marte praeclari (qui obiit) Novemb(rensis) die 12, sua aetatis ...., Domini Nostri nativitatis Christi .... Et conjux ..... Pollard relicta [veluti maerens turtur] secutura interim hoc p(osui)t [sumptu proprio] monumentum ("sacred to the memory of John Pollard of Langley, Esquire, a man as much undiminished in virtue as famous for martial prowess (who died) on the 12th day of November in the year of his age ... in the year of the birth of our Lord Christ .... His wife .... Pollard [just like a mournful turtle-dove] about to follow him, meanwhile placed [at her own expense] this monument".) Above at the top of the monument are shown the arms of Pollard: Argent, a chevron sable between three escallops gules, quartering de Via (alias de Way of Way in the parish of St Giles in the Wood): Argent, a chevron sable between three mullets pierced gules. Above atop a helm is the crest of Pollard, a stag passant (?). Between the two portrait busts is an escutcheon of Pollard impaling two bars in chief three roundels (?), which should be the arms of his wife, whose family is not known. These are not the arms of Addington, which family she is stated in certain sources to be from.
