Note of Interest

In the apex of the window above the Weber Tomb are some fragments of old glass showing the initials "E.S." commemorating Edmund Sherman who, at his death, left his house opposite the church to the Governors of the Free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth for a school to teach boys to "read, write and cast accounts." that is to become tradesmen rather than aspire to enter university or a profession. Edmund Sherman with his elder brother Henry and their father also Henry were named Governor of the Grammar School when it was endowed in 1571 and were also nominated in the Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth four years later. At least eleven descendants of old Henry Sherman and these two sons, Henry and Edmund are known to have emigrated to New England between 1633 - 1640.
