Edward Manners, Memorial sarcophagus - St Denys - Goadby Marwood, Leicestershire - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

A free standing memorial sarcophagus commemorating Edward Manners (d. 1811) in St Denys' church, Goadby Marwood, located at the east end of the north nave aisle, consisting of black and white marble with a surmounting urn.

"After the death of the [3rd Duke of Rutland (visit link) ] in 1779, the property and most of its contents passed to Elizabeth Drake, who seems to have gone on living there until she died, about 1800. For much of that time the rates were paid by her son, Edward Manners, by then the freehold owner of the estate. He succeeded his mother as the occupant, and on his own death in 1811, the house passed to his common-law wife Ann Stafford, who shared it with her eldest son, Fursan Manners."
