English: Memorial in St Leonard's Church, Rockingham. Text from http://www.rockinghamvillage.co.uk/church_guide1.html : "South (Watson) Chapel. The Chapel has many memorials of the Watson family. The figure of the Castle's restorer lies on a tomb in the middle of the Chapel, beside the figure of a lady. Lewis Watson, 1st Baron Rockingham, 1st Baronet (1584-1653) erected this monument after the Civil War. He constructed it probably from the remains of two or more family monuments, following the vandalism of the Parliamentarians, as it is generally believed that the figures came from different monuments. The lady is believed to be Dorothy Montagu, his grandmother, wife of Edward Watson, and the Knight with spurs - Sir Edward Watson, his father. The panel in front, with figures of children, does not correspond with what is known of the family of either of them. The lady is in Elizabethan dress; the man is carved in alabaster and is wearing armour with chains over his chest." Lewis Watson, 1st Baron Rockingham supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War and as a result was created Baron Rockingham. He was the son of Sir Edward Watson of Rockingham Castle and his wife, Anne Digby, daughter of Kenelm Digby of Stoke Dry, Rutland. Arms at end of chest-tomb: Watson impaling Digby. |
