St Mary's church at Clifton stands in a peaceful enclave close to the edge of Nottingham. It is a fine cruciform building with a lofty central tower and plenty of interest within, including a splendid group of monuments in the north transept. The church was restored by noted architect George Pace in the 1960s which resulted in some colourful redecoration and bold modern features such as the nave ceiling and organ. This is a hugely rewarding church to visit, though alas I believe it is normally kept locked. southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/clifton-st-mary/hintro...

Children 1. William 2. Robert (alive in 1482) 3. Harold d 1512 +++ 4. (?) Maud m Hugh Shirley, possibly the 4th son of John Shirley of Staunton. Harold === The figures stand under 2 crocketed canopies with ogee heads and round arches with cinquefoil cusping, divided by a pinnacle (now gone) rising from a corbel. Both have prayer scrolls , of which only the indents remain of Roberts, possibly God bless us and keep us" to match Agnes scroll " Illuminet vultum suum super nos et misereatur nostri". (Shine your face upon us and be gracious unto us) Robert Staunton's brass shows the best example of extravagant coudieres, and is also remarkable for showing the salade, which came into use c 1450, but is of extreme rarity upon brasses and effigies. It is here represented very wide in form with falling visor in which is the eye-slot. The visor, being pivoted on either side, could be closed, and is apparently guided in its movement by a prolongation running backwards and forwards upon a hidden comb or ridge. The salade rested entirely on the head, and was not affixed in any way to the body armour : its coolness was a great recommendation, as was also the facility with which the head could be moved in any direction. It had the prolongation behind for the protection of the back of the neck, which if course, cannot be shown on a brass. The gorget is of plate, over which laminated shoulder-pieces are shown, and these are of equal size, though more massive pauldrons, of which the right one, i.e., the protection for the sword arm, was smaller, were now coming into use. The details of the breastplate and arm defences are hidden by the enormous coudieres, which are of equal size; though the bottom edge of the placcate, or reinforcement of the breastplate, can be seen. A skirt of 5 taces is attached the lower edge of the breastplate, and from the bottom tace hangs a pair of tuiles, between which is seen an apron of mail. The defences of the legs consist of the usual cuissarts, or thigh coverings, genouillieres or knee-caps, jambes reinforced with 2 plates below the knees, and pointed sollerets of several lams: and rowel spurs are worn. The suit here depicted is of great interest as showing equipment for actual warfare. (Routh) in 1485, presumably after Bosworth, provision is made that it shall not affect a gift or grant made by letters patent of Henry VI, under the seal of the duchy of Lancaster, to Robert Staunton or William Staunton, of the offices of constableship and stewardship of Donington, or of the offices of bailiship and parkership of Donington. The passage, however, bears upon the identity of the Robert Staunton who is buried in the south aisle and was a person of local consequence. In the letters patent by which Edward IV gave his demesne lands to the freeholders, etc., of the place, occur the names of Margaret, late the wife of Robert Staunton, and William Staunton. Robert the son was still alive in 1482, when he was named on the commission of the peace for Leicestershire. He occurs in that position from 1454 to 1482, and is overlapped by Robert Staunton, a J.P. for Derbyshire from 1443 to 1457. In 1460 there were 3 brothers alive (most likely the sons of Robert & Agnes) named William, Robert, and Harold Staunton, for on 29 April in that year the Longhborough court roll records that William Staunton came into court, " and took of the lord a garden in Loughborough by the Dedlane, to hold to the said William, Robert and Harold, his brothers, for term of their lives and the longer liver of them, at a yearly rent of 12d. and two works," etc. The name of Harold Staunton +++ is specially connected with Castle Donington, because in 1509 Harold Staunton and Thomas Hesilrige (grandfather of Robert Hesilrigg www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/d278D8 ) had licence to found a chantry in the church there for one priest, to sing divine service in the chapel of our Lady there, and to pray for the souls of the founders, and also to teach a grammar school there for the education of poor scholars within a schoolhouse founded by them within the town . The yearly value of this chantry at the suppression of such foundations was £8 4s. 8d. Harold Staunton's will was proved in the prerogative court of Canterbury on 12 October, 1512 wherein he directed that his body should be buried in the church of the friars observant at Newark-on-Trent: he left 40s. to the prioress and convent of Langley to make him " a brother there of their chapitour house," and £10 to the church of Donington which Sir Ralph Shirley owed him for parcels bought for him. There was some relationship between him and the Shirleys and Hazlerigs, but its exact nature has not been ascertained. William Staunton of Prestwold, whose will was proved 9 July, 1530,34 bequeathed all such land as Harold Staunton purchased in the towns and fields of Burton on the Wolds, Queniborough, Slawston, and Bosworth, with 16s. a year in Cotes, making £5 a year in all, to a priest to sing at the altar of St. Mary Magdalene-in Prestwold church for the souls of Harold Staunton and all Christian souls, " and he to be at mass by seven of the clock in the morning." www.le.ac.uk/lahs/downloads/CastleDonPagesfromVolume14-1-... www.shirleyassociation.com/NewShirleySite/NonMembers/Engl... - Church of St Edward, King and Martyr, Castle Donington Leicestershire
