Summary edit

Description

The most impressive monument in the church is that at the east end of the north transept commemorating Sir Baptist Noel, Viscount Campden, his four wives and nineteen children. It is notable because it is the work of Grinling Gibbons, one of the few works carved in marble by one better known for his woodcarving. It was completed in 1683 at a cost of £1,000, a great sum of money at that time. It has twenty-five figures on it in all and in front of a shallow apse stand the Viscount and his fourth wife, separated by an urn on a pedestal on which is the date 1686. The oval relief below represents the children of this fourth wife; the oblong below, the third wife with her six children; and the ovals of the obelisks, the first and second wives and their children. All the figures wear a quasi-Roman dress and the carving is excellent.

He was an English politician, Lord Lieutenant and MP for Rutland. He was a military commander in the civil war.

He married 4 times, to Anne Fielding, Anne Lovett, Hester Wotton and lastly Elizabeth Bertie, by whom he had 9 children, including Catherine Noel, who married John Manners, 1st Duke of Rutland.
