Baugh of Philadelphia (widow) 4220 Spruce Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 In the list she sent, it states that MARY MAUGHRIDGE, a prisoner was buried ye 19 September 1693. I found no such reference. I showed the list given in Mrs. Baugh's material to the Vicar, Anthony' Marks, and asked him if perhaps the word "prisoner" might have meant "pensioner", but he said that there were no such people in those days. Also, OUR Mary Maugridge was born in 1669 and died in America. So, this person may have been her aunt. In Mrs. Baugh's list, "John son of George Boone baptised ye 20 April 16?3" could not be the John Boone, born in 1701/02, son of George Boone, who never married and died in Exeter, PA.

Disen is unique in the British Isles. Disen, also called Disibod, was one of the many of the Irish missionaries to the Continent, and appears to have come to Bradninch about the middle of the 7th century. It is likely that there were Christians in Bradninch before this time; but the British Church commonly adopted as patrons of its churches, not'departed saints, but the living men who founded them. So we may suppose that the first church building in Bradninch dates from S. Disen, over 1300 years ago. After staying some time in Bradninch, S.Disen went to Germany, where he spent the rest of his life and died over eighty years of age in the year 674; he founded a monastery near Maint a, and the name "Disibodenberg" still survives there. The present church of S. Disen was built about the middle of the 15th century. The great -Screen which runs across the whole church was painted in 1528; this date is given at the end of the Latin inscription on the east side of the screen, but it is now hidden by the organ. The screen was restored in 18)+3, and recoloured ten years later. It is divided into fifty --two panels, which vary considerably in artistic merit., but are of much interest for the subjects shown. In the central door, we see on the left the Annunciation, and on the right the Visitation. To the north of the central door are'the twelve Sibyls, the pagan prophetesses*who were believed by the early Christians to have prophesied of Christ;_ they are shown carrying symbols connected with the'Birth or the Passion of our -Lord. In the panels of the north door (by the organ) are the four Doctors of the Latin Church - SS. Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory. The panels at the north end of the screen are very inferior, and their subjects ars; uncertain. To the south of the central door, the first two panels represent the Fall of Man (by a common medieval fancy, the serpent is shown with a woman's head), and the next two the expulsion from Eden. The next four probably represent Old Testament types of Christ - Samson (with the jawbone of an ass), then perhaps Deborah, Samuel, and David. Then beyond the pedestal follows the Child Christ, holding the world in -His hand: the remaining figures are unknown. The two figures on the pedestals above the.panels are said to have been brought from a monastery in the Levant, and added to the original screen. The figure on the north side is S. James, the patron of pilgrims, carrying a staff and wearing a scallop -shell in his hat; that on the south side is unknown. The screen was originally surmounted (as was usual) by a rood, that is, a figure of Christ on the Cross with the Blessed Virgin and S. John on either side. The rood was removed during the Puritan Revolution -in the 17th century; a modern rood, the work of Mr. Herbert Read, Jr., was put up in 1961, the cost being met by a legacy from Miss S .A . DLunn . The smaller Screen, which separates the Chapel of S. George (in the south-east corner of the church) from the chancel, contains twelve panels quite different in style from those of.the great screen. Counting from left to right, panel No. 2 shows S. Christopher, No. 3 S. Adrian, Nos. 5 and 6 S. Francis receiving the stigmata, No. 7 S. Michael, No. 8 S. George, No. 9 S. Gabriel, No. 11 S. Sebastian. The Reredos behind the main altar is a memorial to Dr. Charles Cros- legh, Vicar of Bradninch from 1897 to 1917, and the author of the "History of Bradninch", on which these notes are largely based. It is the ,eork of the late Herbert Read, who restored the screens in Exeter Cathedral after the air -raids of 1942; the screen under the tower, the font -cover, and the Warren memorial on the north wall are also his work. The five panels of the reredos represent the Annunciation, Nativity, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension. The Church banner in the chancel shows S. Disen, with the Celtic form of tonsure, and holding a symbolic church with thatched roof. The shields on either side show, on the left, the arms of the See of Exeter, and on the right,those of the town of Bradninch. These latter date from Richard Plantagenet,Earl of Cornwall and Baron of Bradninch, who was a younger brother of King Henry III. Richard was the only Englishman to be.elected to the crown of the Holy Roman Empire: he adopted the black eagle of the Empire as his armorial device, in place of the golden leopards Of England, and bequeathed this device to his Borough of Bradninch. All the stained lass in the church dates from the 19th century. The window at the east end of the north aisle was designed by an amateur, a lady living in Bradninch, and has the theme of the Resurrection. The Madonna and Child in a niche in one of the pillars on the north side of the nave were placed there in 1938. The cost was met by public subscription, to which the children in the Sunday School contributed. The screen at the west ub�enndd of the church, under the tower, commemor- tes the Silver Ji of Kang George V and (ween Lary. The Royal Arms above were added to commemorate the visit of King Edward VIII in June 1936 they are one of the few visible memorials of his reign. .The connexion of Bradninch with the Duchy of Cornwall goes back to Richard Earl of Cornwall in the 13th century, and most of the farms in the parish belong to the' Duchy. Since the Duke of Cornwall is Lord of the Manor of Bradninch, the Church Choir wear the scarlet cassocks of a royal chapel. King Edward VIII also visited Bradninch as Prince of Wales in 1921, and Quuen Elizabeth II (then the Princess Elizabeth) came here in October 1949; she met all the Duchy tenants and their wives in the Guildhall, and also visited Bowhill 14�)re recently, in June 1970, His Royal Highness Prince Charles vi.. -.j1 •1 Bradninch by helicopter.
