Lord & Lady Sundon
After an enquiry from Tim
Edwards about the two panels on the wall in the side Chapel at St Mary's I've
started to put together this page about Lord and Lady Sundon. Lord & Lady Sundon
were buried in a crypt under the side Chapel at St Mary's, sadly this was filled
in during restoration work at the beginning of the twentieth century. If anyone
has more information it would be great to add to the site. Many thanks to Tim
for the pictures he sent to us.
