Heraldry of the Bedford Chapel, Chenies Buckinghamshire

• M1 John, 1st Earl and Anne Sapcote
• M1 JOHN, 1st. EARL OF BEDFORD K.G. & ANNE SAPCOTE, HIS WIFE
  • John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford, born 1485, died 1554/55 and
  • Anne, his Countess, died 1559.
    • She was the only child of Sir Guy Sapcote and heiress, through her maternal grandmother of Cheynes and Seamark.
    • She married -
      • 1. Sir John Broughton of Torrington 
      • 2. Sir Richard Jerningham 
      • 3. John Russell 
    • She brought the Chenies and Thornhaugh estates and built the Bedford Chapel. (from Bucks Visitations - Russells inherited Chenies under the will of Dame Agnes Cheney through her niece Anne Seamark, wife of Sir William Sapcote and mother of Sir Guy Sapcote). 
  • In the chancel is the oldest completed monument in the Chapel, early 16th c. most probably of Italian workmanship. Executed in red-veined alabaster, probably from Derbyshire, entirely uncoloured. The sides of the tomb chest are panelled, ornamented with pilasters, arabesques in relief and inlaid with Venetian Renaissance motifs of lozenges and roundels of clouded black marble and polished flint. Carved shields with achievement of arms are in each panel and at ends - eight in number. Recumbent effigies of the Earl and Countess, hands joined and raised in the attitude of prayer - the Earl's figure clad in plate armour with the collar and mantle of the Garter, coronet and cross hilted sword. The head is on a helmet with goat couchant crest, mantling arranged to cover the hollow end and the feet on a lion. The face is modelled from a portrait of the Earl, by Holbein, in Woburn Abbey and indicates the droop of the eyelid over the eye which was damaged by an arrow at the siege of Morlaix in 1523. 
  • His wife is in robes of a Peeress, with the coronet and also with long hair. The feet are on a heraldic antelope couchant, gorged with a coronet and chain reflexed over back.
  • The monument was erected by their son Francis, 2nd Earl and its position changed since Scharf compiled his book.
