John and Lettys Terry
1524 - St John Maddermarket, Norwich

Dimensions of whole product (figure may lay within this):

Height in inches: 38

Width in inches: 29

Weight in kg: 11.0

Full Scale, Replica or Theme? Full Scale

This most unusual and attractive brass shows John, Lettys, their two sons and two daughters all standing upon brackets, the supporting arms of which are in the form of the branches of a tree. It has been assumed that the incorporation of a tree into the design offers a rather awful pun upon the family name "teree"!

The upper coat of arms is that of the City of Norwich (of which John was mayor in 1523), whilst his personal coat is a strange amalgam incorporating the arms of the Mercers of London and the initials I.T. Whilst no records of the Merchant Adventurers have survived, he was certainly not a member of the Mercers Company and had no right to marshal their arms with his own in this way.

Sir Ralph was scion of the Whittingham family, who lived in Pendley Manor from the 14th Century. Three generations of Whittingham were named robert, the first was Sheriff of London in 1419, the second fought in the Hundred Years' War; the third, a Lancastrian, was killed during the Wars of the roses. His daughter Margaret, against his wishes, married the Yorkist, Sir John Verney, whose father, knighted by Edward IV in 1471, became Lord Mayor of London. On Henry VIII's accession, Parliament granted the Whittingham estates to the Verney's. Sir John was buried at Ashridge, as were his son and grandson Ralph, whose brass this is. Ralph and elizabeth his wife are shown with their 9 sons and 3 daughters. The parents wear heraldic tabards showing the Coat of Arms of the Verneys and Whittinghams.

Lady Elizabeth, wife of Sir Ralph, was the daughter of Edmund, Lord Braye. Her heraldic mantle bears her family arms, with those of her husband. This is one of the finest examples of insignia with its story of family links and inter-marriage. Elizabeth outlived her husband and married three more times. The original Verney brass shows her with Sir Ralph, their 9 sons and 3 daughters.

In 1557 Elizabeth's brother John, 2nd Baron Braye, died without issue. The barony was abeyant until 1839 when it was terminated in favour of Sarah Otway, daughter of Sir Thomas Cave and Elizabeth's descendant. The family assumed the name Verney-Cave which is that of the present Baron Braye.
