Simon DE BEAUCHAMP

Notes:

Name:
Son of Payne de Beauchamp and his wife, Countess Rohese (widow of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex).
He lies buried inside the Church of St. Paul close to the high altar. There are signs of a medieval brass to commemorate him but it is no longer in situ. Were it to be so it would be the oldest brass in the United Kingdom. His wife was Isabella Wake who is mentioned as experiencing a miracle attributed to St. Gilbert of Sempringham, founder of the Gilbertine monastic order.
