Summary

Description
Français : Richard Cecil (vers 1553) représenté sur son cénotaphe de l'église Saint-Martin de Stamford (UK). Ce dernier fut le père de William Cecil, dont le Monument funéraire (et tombeau/mausolé) a été construit juste à droite de celui de son père dans la même église.

Richard Cecil fait face à son épouse jane Heckington (morte vers 1587, âgé de 87 ans), ils sont tous deux appuyés sur un pupitre de prière. Ils ont eu un fils, William Cecil, et 3 filles, Anne, Elizabeth et Margaret (visibles à genoux en prière sur la partie inférieure du cénotaphe). Les armoiries figurées sur le monument intègrent celles de son épouse et montrent ses racines galloises.

L'église actuelle date de la fin du 15ème siècle (construite dans les années 1480) et remplaceun bâtiment plus ancien, probablement détruit après le sac de la ville en 1461. Mais d'autres églises ont été peu endommagées, elle a peut-être été négligée par les religieuses qui à l'époque en avaient la charge.
English: Monument to Richard & Jane Cecil, St Martin's church, Stamford

Richard Cecil (d. 1553) was father to William Cecil, whose Monument is nearby. He married Jane Heckington (d, 1587, aged 87) around 1519, and they had one son, William, and three daughters, Anne, Elizabeth, and Margaret. Richard rose through the ranks to become Groom of the Robes, Sheriff of Rutland and other positions. Him and his wife are kneeling at a prayer desk, with his daughters as weepers below. The coat of Arms above incorporates arms of Cecil quartering Winston, Heckinton, Walcot and Caerleon, showing his Welsh roots. St Martin's church, Stamford The church today dates from the late 15th century, although it replaced an earlier building. It is thought that the original church was ruined after the sack of the town in 1461. However, other churches were little damaged, so a more likely reason is that it was neglected by the nuns who owned it at the time.

The present church was built in the 1480s.
