The Church of St Mary, Carlton Curlieu – Monumental InscriptionsThe Church of St Mary, Carlton Curlieu,LeicestershireThe name Carlton is derived from an old Scandinavian word meaning the village ofthe free peasants. Curlieu is attached for differentiation from the many Carltons, andis derived from the knowledge that Robert de Curly (died 1274) whose family camefrom Cully in Normandy, had been Lord of the Manor of Carlton. In fact, there weretwo Lordships, later described as manors, which made up Carlton. One, which hadbeen held by Robert de Curly, descended by inheritance through Peter de Nevill(1278)William de Weston (1370) Theobald Warde (1414) and his descendants, until itwas bought by Thomas Palmer of East Carlton Northants, in 1597. The other one,which was granted to the Priory at Ulverscroft, Leics, in 1356, was bought by JohnBale of Saddington in 1575, when the Priory was dissolved. When his family linedied out in 1654, it was bought by Sir Geoffrey Palmer of East Carlton, thus unitingthe two manors within his family possession.The church with five virgates of land (about 100 acres) had been given to the Abbeyof St Evroul Normandy, by the then Overlord Hugh Grentesmesnil, before the year1081. Upon the suppression of alien Priories in 1415, the possession and advowsonwas transferred to the Prior and convent of Jesus of Bethlehem at Sheen (nowrenamed Richmond Surrey).After its suppression the advowson was granted, in 1552to Sir Thomas Wrath, who passed the right to William Weston, who had himself beenpresented to the living by the prior of Sheen. John Bale possessed the advowson in1560. During the Stuart period, the Crown presented the Living on 4 occasions, butfrom 1654 the Palmer family had held the sole Right. The Right is now shared withtwo others, alternatingly, since the unification of the benefices of Shangton andBurton Overy with Carlton.The main feature of the church is the massive unbuttressed Norman tower. The archtowards the nave is shafted, the shafts have scalloped capitals, and in the arch there isa zig-zag on the soffit (the underside) as well as on the face, meeting at right angles, astrong roll moulding. The columns have long since been missing. The lower twostages of the tower can be dated to the 11/12th century. The belfry stages were addedin 1686, as the inscription on its north face indicates. There are 3 bells all inscribedand dated 1732.Above the arch are the Royal Arms of George 111, of the period 1801/16. When thePope’s jurisdiction in England was repudiated in 1536 and Henry the V111 madehimself head of the Church of England, the Royal Arms were introduced into ourchurches to emphasize the change. During the reign of Queen Mary nearly all weredestroyed, but were restored in subsequent reigns, only to be destroyed again duringthe Commonwealth. Upon the restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, the display ofthese Arms was made compulsory, but since the 19th century, the practice has falleninto disuse.The main body of the church was rebuilt in 1767, with a further restoration in1880/81, when the roof was renewed and raised, and the S/porch rebuilt. At the sametime the north chapel was rebuilt to serve as a vestry and house the organ. The organ,lectern and font were a gift Mr & Mrs E.F.Bigge, who were then living at CarltonHall.The 19th century stained glass east window was the gift of Colonel Palmer and othermembers of his family. The communion plate consists of a cup and paten, dated 1686which were the gift of Frances Grantham whose daughter married into the Palmer3

The aim was to record the words exactly as they are found on the stone– so variations in spelling are a common occurrence.Some of the very old graves were transcribed and published in 1798 in a book called‘The History and Antiquities of Leicestershire’ by Nichols and this can be seen at theCounty Record Office.Toni Smith8
