Previous survey records all following (largely about Lady Joyce Ryves) RECHECK:

Register: Domina Tocosa RYVES sepulata fuit. July 23rd 1679

Church Register states

Dominus Richard Ryves sepultus fuit August 25th 1671 (note discrepancy in dates)

and in 1679 Domina Tocose (Joyce) Ryves sepulata fuit secundum Senatus Consul turn July 23rd. There is no record of her getting her wish to be buried with her husband.

Previous survey: This monument consists of a flat marble stone with inscription, on the floor of the north side of chancel, with above it (before 1878) a large Pillar of Black and White Marble surmounted by an urn, without inscription (see Int.145). (This mural monument was recessed into the north wall of the chancel prior to 1878, when it was resited at the west end of the south wall of the South Aisle. The mural monument was destroyed in the fire of 1979.) Following the fire, the stone slab was found under the choir stalls (that were erected in 1878) but it is thought that this was not the original position as the soil beneath was undisturbed. Coffins without markers were found near the Sanctuary steps, and it is thought that this was the burial site. It is suggested that the slab was moved against the wall to allow a pleasing pattern to be made using the Victorian and the then newly discovered medieval tiles which graced the Chancel prior to the fire.

1997: 3rd line from end: last letter partly covered by cement: down stroke only visible - must be E, as there is no room for more letters.

1997: last line: nice scrolls on the numbers at the bottoms on 1,7, and the tops on 6.

Notes (18.10.1982) by William Lack B.Sc., M.I.Geol, M.I.M.M. F.G.S., Monumental Brass Repairs and Conservation, The Radleth, Plealey, Pontesbury, Shrewsbury SY5 0XF: (Mill Stevenson, 1926: MSI). This two-line Latin inscription is the product of a London workshop. It measures 71 x 362mm with thickness varying from 4.0 to 6.3mm. The first word of the second line ('Et') had been engraved on a separate piece of brass 37x41mm inset into the main plate and joined with a lead wipe which I did not disturb.

Three 28mm long rivets with tapered heads were fitted to the original rivet-holes, the nuts and washers being locked with resin. The reverse of the plate was given a coat of bitumaastic paint. The brass was rebated into an Iroko board measuring 6.75"x18.25"x1.25". Holes were drilled through the board for the three new rivets and the Brass secured to the board by fitting an extra nut and washer to each stud at the back of the board. These were tightened and locked with resin. Holes were drilled at each corner of the board (for mopunting it in the church) and the board was given three coats of polyurethane varnish.

1997: no date on brass. - date ca 1450 ascribed to this brass is presumably on the basis of the straight black letters used in C15.

1997: 2nd line: "et" is on a repair piece

1997: The first and last phrases expanded are the common formal invocations: "Orate pro anima" and "cuius animae propitietur Deus".

New tapered-head rivets were fitted to the plates. Backing-plates were fitted to repair two small fractures on the male effigy and one on the female effigy. Relaid 2.10.1982: the old pitch, lead plugs and cement were chisselled out, and drilled to a depth of at least 50mm and undercut. When a satisfactory "dry-fit" had been achieved, the reverses of the plates were coated with 'Rito' bitumen, the holes were filled with a resin/sand grout and the brasses relaid.

The female effigy and the inscription plate were each fitted with three new tapered-head rivets. The group of children had been secured by two iron rivets with large heads. The corrosion around the rivet holes was removed and two new rivets with large (10mm) tapered heads were fitted. A small backing-plate was fitted at the rear of the inscription to cover a hole. Relaid 2.10.1982: the old pitch, lead plugs and cement were chisselled out, and drilled to a depth of at least 50mm and undercut. When a satisfactory "dry-fit" had been achieved, the reverses of the plates were coated with 'Rito' bitumen, the holes were filled with a resin/sand grout and the brasses relaid. The surface of the slab of MSII is not in good condition and had already been made up with cement which had cracked and flaked. We filled this with a resin mix.

Symthe scroll66x202mm1.6 to 2.3mm2 rivets

Ormesby scroll61x173mm1.8 to 2.5mm2 rivets

When Mr Thomas took the Brass up, he discovered that the shield was palimpsest. The reverse side shows the lower part of a civilian in furred gown c. 1500. A resin facsimile was produced from this reverse. Subsequently when cleaning the Brass, I foundtraces of engraving on the back of the female effigy and on two parts of the inscription. This engraving had been mostly effaced but appeared to be part of a Flemish border.

The rivet-holes on this Brass were tapped OBA and fitted with 40mm long threaded studs. Nuts and washers were fitted and the stud-heads rivetted over. A small fracture on the female effigy was repaired with a backing-plate. One additional rivet hole (part of the original palimpsest work) was blanked and concealed. When taken up, the inscription was in three pieces, the original lead wipes at the joins having failed. These pieces were rejoined with brass backing-plates. In addition to the four original rivet-holes, which were re-used, there were two other holes (again arising from the earlier palimpsest work); I fitted a new stud to one of these and blanked the other. Two new studs were fitted to the shield; one nut and washer was locked with resin as proximity to original lead infill inhibited any soldering. I made a resin replica from the palimpsest reverse of this shield and rebated it into an Iroko board 10"x9"x1.25". Two brass rivets were fitted to the replica and it was fastened to the board in the same way as MSI [Int.3]. Two studs were fitted to each of the scrolls; backing-plates were fitted to rejoin a separate piece on the Smythe scroll and to repair a fracture on the Ormesby scroll. Relaid 2.10.1982: the old pitch, lead plugs and cement were chisselled out, and drilled to a depth of at least 50mm and undercut. When a satisfactory "dry-fit" had been achieved, the reverses of the plates were coated with 'Rito' bitumen, the holes were filled with a resin/sand grout and the brasses relaid.

S. Loader (Parish Magazine Dec 1969): THE MILES MEMORIALS IN THE CHURCH The three memorials to the Miles family of Frogmore Park may be seen on the north wall of the nave between the door and the pulpit. They are the work of William Osmond of Salisbury, (1791-1875). The late Mr Rupert Gunnis, author of a standard reference book, "A Dictionary of English Sculptors", visited our church about four years ago to see these monuments, and we talked about them. Osmond's earlier works were in the Greek style as we can see in his monument in white marble, to Dame Betty Miles, 1834, which has a beautifully scultored weeping figure with extinguished torch and a draped urn on a pedistal, with inscription in Roman lettering. Osmond was a great friend of Augustus Welby Pugin, the famous Gothic revival architect, who persuaded him to abandon his "Pagan Blisters". We see the result in the next monument to Elizabeth Bassnett, 1844, an essay in gothic, with Old English lettering, in stone. The latest monument is nearest to the pulpit, to Ann Miles, 1850, and Jonathan Miles, 1866. This shows another development of Osmond's "Christian" style, in which marble on a grey backing, and he has reverted to Roman lettering. The persons commemorated are buried near the chancel screen by the lectern. A number of Osmond's works may be seen in Salisbury Cathedral.

Dear Sir

Miss Mason has very kindly given her consent, subject to the approval of yourself & the Churchwardens, to the removal of the King's Colour now in Yately church to the King's Own Memorial Chapel at Lancaster. I felt, when writing to Miss Mason in this matter & not less now when in Aldershot, Arrangements **** to be made for a suitable ceremony at Yateley Church & also, should you consent, I know the Regiment will wish to put a brass in the Church recording the facts.

If any further information is required I need not say I would be only too pleased to give it should it be in my power to do so.

My address will be BOWERHAM Barracks Lancaster after the middle of next week.

Yours v. truly

Psalm 73:26 (AV) (not written on monument): My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

Near this place lies interred the body of

Walter Phillips late of this parish Gentleman,

who married Katharine one of the daughters

of Dean Goodwin of Bletchingly in the

County of Surrey Esq. They lived in happy

wedlock for the space of 35 years and

had four children, 3 of which died young.

The said Walter Phillips departed this life

Age.

Redeem the time that swiftly flys from thee"

Here also lies buried the said Katharine Phillips

Photograph

The monument (marble pillar with urn) does not carry an inscription.

D.O.M. = Deo Optimo Maximo

Line 10: From photo of Ryves monument there appears to be no room for "e" in equalis, hence the reading qualis (as in the published version of History of Yateley) is to be preferred, (and also makes more sense). It would be easy for an English person to mistakenly add the e.

1997: previously described as lozenge shape - this was using ordinary parlance, not implying the diamond shape implied heraldically.
