AfferGorritt 868 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just got back from Ted’s talk on Francis Lovel at Gedling Church. Much of the story is as I put down in the article I put on OneDrive, but Ted’s now added a few more pieces to the puzzle. His further research touches ... The escape route from the battlefield at East Stoke and the significance of the position of the old Nottingham-Newark road. If the tomb isn’t Lovel’s, whose is it? All other rebel knights are accounted for. Knights of Henry’s army would surely not have been buried miles in the opposite direction to his army’s advance. Lords of the manor, and influential clergy (even though they wouldn’t have worn armour) are accounted for. The alabaster slab may be Lovel’s, but might have been moved from its original location during one of the extensive refurbishments the church has undergone. Interesting talk attended by a few members of the Richard III society as well as the locals. Only had time to say a brief hello to Ted, as he was off showing the audience the slab, but I’ll email him to see if he’s written it up in article form, and see if I can get get a copy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is intriguing stuff and will be interesting to find out who the tomb does belong to. Look forward to reading your next additions of information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
