Hingham, Norfolk

            Church of St Andrew, church monument

Morley Monument, red sandstone, commissioned by Robert de Morley (Thomas Lord Morley’s son) and his wife Elizabeth de Roos. It has suffered from Reformation iconoclasm, with the loss of most of the heads.
Described by Pevsner as: ‘The Morley monument against the chancel wall is one of the most impressive wall monuments of the C15 in the whole of England. It commemorates Thomas Lord Morley (d.1435) but, according to the heraldry, it must have been made somewhat later.’ The tomb chest is decorated with the family coat of arms, and once with brasses, while at the back, against a curving wall, members of the family kneel in prayer, while others can be seen at the sides. The figures are dwarfed by the huge arch rising the full height of the chancel, to a canopy with Christ seated and holding an orb and seated in judgement flanked by the much smaller Lord Thomas and Lady Isabel Morley. The frame and decoration recall Woderofe’s Erpingham Gate in Norwich, datable to around 1420. 
Thomas de Morley, 5th Baron Morley (1393 – 1435) was de jure Lord Marshall, hereditary Marshal of Ireland, and a Privy Councillor and lord of Hingham, Morley and Hockering. His wife was Lady Isabel de la Pole, daughter of Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk and Katherine de Stafford, daughter of Hugh de Stafford, 2nd Earl of Stafford.
