English: Late 15th-century eagle lectern given by Sir Baptist Hicks, a wealthy silk merchant, in 1618, who also gave pulpit 1612 and is buried in the Gainsborough (S) chapel below a sumptuous marble canopied and colonnaded monument possibly by Nicholas Stone. Nothing is known about the ‘lost period’ of the lectern, from when it was made c 1470-1530, and 1618 when Baptist Hicks presented it. He presumably brought it from London. At the time, church wardens seem to have been selling off items seen to have been superfluous.
On the death of Sir Baptist Hicks in 1629, a list of his charitable bequests include a ‘brass faulcon £26'. There are two inscriptions, the first recording the donation of the eagle in 1618. EX DONO BAPTISTAE HIKES MILITIS ANNO DOMINI 1618. The second inscription records the restoration of the lectern in 1881. RESTORED NOVEMBER 1881 BY M.F.H. +. The Parochial Magazine of November 1881 records a visit by benefactors, Mrs Mary F. Hiron and her daughter from New South Wales, on the 9th October. The Hiron family appear to have been prominent Chipping Campden residents from the 17th century onwards– appearing often in church records. Following the visit Mrs Hiron wrote ‘My dear Sir – My daughter and myself have decided with your permission to get the lectern repaired and we have to request that you forward the lectern and stand to J W Singer and Son of Frome’. The striking addition of the red glass eyes, (and possibly the remodelling of the face and sharpening of his beak), probably occurred as part of this restoration. Taking into account the Victorian restoration of its face and eyes the lectern is a very near twin to the one at Woolpit. The wooden plinth is inscribed "In Memory of Rebekah Grove A Benefactress of this Church Who Fell Asleep May 13 AD 1909 R I P" St James, Chipping Campden in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, was built in the 15th century incorporating an earlier Norman church. It is a grade I listed building. The early perpendicular Cotswold wool church, was built in the 15th century but included elements of the Norman church which had been on the site since 1180. The building consists of a five-bay nave, three-bay chancel, two aisles and a five-stage west tower. The tower is 119 feet (36 metres) high to the top of the pinnacles. The interior includes medieval altar frontals (c.1500), cope (c.1400) and 17th-century monuments including a monument to silk merchant Sir Baptist Hicks and his family and a plaque to William Grevel, described as "the flower of the wool merchants of all England". |
