Holding Hands is in Church Monument Details.
Effigy of Sir Miles Stapleton and his Lady. ONE of those engraved plates familiarly termed brasses. It is on the floor of the chancel of Ingham church, Norfolk, and commemorates Sir Miles Stapleton, Knight of the Garter, and his wife, Joan, daughter of Sir Oliver Ingham, and widow of Lord Strange, of Knockyn. He died on Wednesday before the feast of St. Nicholas, 38 Edward III. (December 4,1364.) The lady, perhaps from courtesy as a coheiress, is placed on the knight's right hand. An elegant crocketed gothic canopy and pinnacles surmount the figures. These have suffered some mutilation. Into the verge of the stone has been inserted a fillet of brass, with this inscription:
Priez pour les almes de Monseur Miles de Stapleton, et Dame Johanne, sa femme, fille de Monseur Oliver de Ingham, fondours de ceste maison; qe dieu de jour almes eit pitie.
[Pray for the alms of Sir Miles of Stapleton, and Dame Johanne, his wife, daughter of Sir Oliver of Ingham, founders of this house; may god of day almes have mercy]
That portion printed in the black letter alone now remains, the rest is supplied from Bloomfield.

Before 1631. Unknown Painter. Portrait of Thomas Mansel 1st Baronet (age 74) and Jane Pole. Unusual for showing the couple holding hands. Sir Thomas was one of the richest and most influential people in south Wales. Not only had he acted as MP and Sheriff of Glamorgan on several occasions, he had been knighted, and in 1611 became one of the first ever to be given the title Baronet - see May 1611 Creation of Baronets. Sir Thomas wears a white doublet with delicate lace collars and cuff, and a dark tunic intricately embroidered with gold. These were not his everyday clothes, but would have been chosen especially for the portrait, to demonstrate his wealth and taste. Beards were considered a sign of virility, and were important fashion statements for men. Thomas Mansel wears his long and squared. Lady Jane wears a dark dress embroidered with gold and an elaborate lace collar and headdress, offset by a lavish triple-string of pearls. This was an age when new fashions and luxury materials like lace were being imported from abroad. Her costume was not of the latest fashion, and suggests the taste of an older generation. Lady Jane holds a marigold, also called Mary's Gold. This may be a reference to their daughter Mary, who appears with her parents in another, almost identical portrait. Marigolds were often used to symbolise grief and comfort, so it may also refer to the death of Jane's second husband.
Jane Pole: She was born to Thomas Pole of Bishops Hall. Before 20 Dec 1631 Thomas Mansel 1st Baronet (age 75) and she were married.
