Brasses in Church in Chalgrove, 8 May 1999

From: "Clayton E. Quarterman" Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 01:49:18 +0300 (EET DST) By the way, on our trip to England last June, we visited Thame, Oxon, and were delighted to find that a church where the Quartermans played such a leading role continues to be today a very active, vital church. In order to see the Quarterman tombs there, we had to clear out a section of their Christian bookstore! The history of the church says that the tomb of Thomas Quarterman used to be called the "Poor Corner" because the offerings for the poor were laid there — and it continues to be a spot of vibrant actvity. Praise God! I truly loved the town of Thame. We also visited St. Mary's church in Chalgrove, and made some brass rubbings in the chancel. The pastor told me they were Quartermans, but I have some doubts. I'm still trying to decipher the Old Latin inscriptions! Do you know anything about them? I also noted the Quarterman plaques there. The info on you web page was really helpful, since I had a taxi waiting impatiently, and I only have one hour to see and film it all. It was FUN! I'll tell you later about my eventful trip to Rycote Chapel. [Inside Rycote Chapel] [an error occurred while processing this directive]

Quarterman To: Clay Quarterman Date: 8 July 2011 There is a letter-for-letter transcription of the Chalgrove Robert Quatremaine plaque on page 11 of the green book, Quarterman Family of Liberty County, Georgia and Relatives. Your pictures of the plaque look about the same as when I transcribed it in August 1994. Robert's coat of arms is one of four represented on page 10 of the green book. It's the bottom right one on this web page. Richard Quatremaine was not actually "Duke of [G]loster"; he worked for the Duke of York. Apparently his cousin Robert's daughter-in-law misremembered that history. http://www.quarterman.org/archive/msg00953.html The Duke of York in question was also the Duke of Gloucester, and is more commonly known by his later royal name, Richard III, the king Shakespear depicted so unflatteringly. -jsq
