St Nicholas

On the south wall stands the remains of a particularly fine memorial put up circa 1612. It is in the form reminiscent of an early 17th century fireplace. Resting on the mantel is a stone oval containing the sitter's armorials, topped with an obelisk and to both sides ribbons and tassels inlaid into the jambs. Kneeling in the hearth are Sir Henry Fowkes and his wife, separated by a prayer desk.

Further along the wall, to the other side of the entrance door, is the wall table to Sir George Tryon, a member of the family who owned the Bulwick Park estate since the 17th century (and whose descendants, the Conants, continue to hold it today). Sir George died with 300 of his men when his vessel, HMS Victoria collided with HMS Camperdown in the Mediterranean in 1893. This was a somewhat dismal end to an extremely distinguished career in which he saw service throughout the globe.

Other members of the family are also here, including Henry Tryon who had died at Sebastopol in 1854. The rather old fashioned, neo classical wall tablet to Thomas Tryon (1802-1872) was made by CR Smith whose workshop was in the Marylebone Road in London.
