Sir Ralph de Rochford I of Walpole (died c1391)
Effigies of Sir Ralph de Rochford I of Walpole and his wife Matilda in the Rochfords’ chapel at Walpole St Peter’s.
No trace of this monument survives today.
From Richard Gough’s Sepulchral Monuments, 1796.
Judging by Gough’s engraving, Ralph and Matilda’s monument was an extraordinary, wonderful piece, both detailed and highly decorative in design. It must have been commissioned by their heir, Henry, and it must have cost him a small fortune. It is a world apart from the often rather dry public records and legal documents that tell us the bare facts of Ralph and Matilda’s lives. Their monument was a personal, self-conscious and intimate piece that reveals much about how the family saw themselves – or, at least, how Henry wanted the world to see them: his father as a grizzled, long-locked warrior-knight in the finest armour; his mother as a beautiful, bejewelled lady in soft, flowing robes.
