Effigy of Nicholas, the son of Sir Nicholas Wadham, knight, Captain of the Isle of Wight, 1508, in swaddling clothes, with one shield and inscription.Now mural in the north aisle.
This full-face effigy of Nicholas Wadham is the only extant example of a child in swaddling clothes in Somerset. On an inscription below the effigy are the following five lines in black letter:
Pray for the soule of Nycholas Wadhm sone to
Syr Nycholas Wadhm knyghtt & capten of the
Ile of wyght whyche depte owte of this worlde
the viij day of december in the yere of our lorde Mt
Vc viij on whos soule ihu have Marci Amen
A shield above the child displays the arms of Wadham (Gules, a chevron between three roses Argent)1 impaling those of Seymour (Gules, two wings conjoined Or).2 The effigy of young Nicholas is 13" (33cm) high. The inscription plate measures 17 1/2" x 5" (44.4cm x 12.7cm), and the shield, 4" x 5" (10.2cm x 12.7cm).
Young Nicholas here, who must have died within a month of his birth, was the son of Sir Nicholas Wadham, who was the grandfather of the founder of Wadham College, and the grandson of Sir William Wadham, whose brass is in Ilminster church. This Sir Nicholas was married four times: 1) Joan, daughter of Robert Hill of Half-Way;
2) Margaret, the aunt of Queen Jane Grey (Seymour) and the Protector Seymour, and the mother of Nicholas here commemorated; 3) Isabell, the daughter of T. Baynham of
Gloucestershire and the widow of Sir Giles Bridges; and, 4) Joan, the daughter of Richard Lyte and widow of William Walton of Barton. Joan Wadham, this fourth wife, is also buried here at Ilton and has a brass inscription to her memory.
