I think it is for one of the Elizabethan Pelhams who first came to the Brocklesby estate and who were ancestors of the first Lord Yarborough. I've seen lines of children who died young on similar tombs, but, as you say, the babies in their cots are quite striking.
Peter Mullins used to think he had the potential to be a rather effective parish priest, and has had a spell when his job involved the in service training of other clergy, but after thirty-five years every new experience makes him realise just what he has missed and is missing.

Whose tomb is this Peter? was intrigued by the number of representations of babies at the base. Wonder what the history is about the occupant?
