Having made a search for "Hyllivyn" (Helion) I came across jmc4's Flickr pages
There are many links split over a number of images on jmc4's pages.
The "about" page on Flickr for jmc4
features the on use of the photographs on other website and publications. My interest is more to do with the research in the
descriptions. As for the photographs I can take them for myself as this is an account of the local history of
Belchamp Walter.
The photo below is of the Brygete Marnay 1549 and husbands Thomas Fynderne
and John Lord Marnay 1525 memorial in Little Horkesley church.

I have some links to the jmc4 pages on thi page.
The extensive research (I am presuming) is not (always) documented by jmc4, there are sometimes links to other photographs
on jmc4's Flickr feed. This is in keeping with the new phylosophy that I am adopting in that there is no point in
having links to external websites that once you are there don't allow you to get back.

These will be reflected in the links below.

The original brass was badly damaged by the landmine bomb parachuted down in September 1940 destroying the church. .
Some of the fragments were found in the next county in fields at Nayland.
On being reassembled it was discovered that the Marney brass was partly palimpsest On the back was part of a c1490 shrouded

++ Will of 16th September 1549. "My body to be buried at the end of the high altar in the chancel of the parish church of
LIttle Horkesey, where I will that a vault of brick be made so large that one body may be conveniently laid therein:
and I will that over it be set a tomb more than half the length of the tomb wherein Dame Katherine Finderne lither buried
and upon the same that there be put 3 pictures of brass , one of myself, without any coat armour, and upon my right side the
picture of the Lord Marney my last husband in his coat armour; and upon my left side the picture of my husband Finderne in
his coat armour; and at the head or feet a a scripture of brass to show the time of my decease, what stock I was of,
and to what men of worship I was married. Also I will that there shall be sung by note such service as is set out and appointed
by the Kings book to be used at burials, with so many priests and clerks as my executors shall think convenient, every
priest to have xlld and every clerk being a man helping to sing, lvd"
++Her request that no coat of arms be placed above her was ignored and it was not until 400 years later that Hitler granted her wish.
The missing shield has never been found.
This facsimile of this famous brass was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Gerald Charrington for the chapel at Layer Marner in
2003 and a second copy was produced and present to Little Horkesley.
