Image: © Mike Searle Taken: 25 Sep 2014
This monumental brass (rare in Wales) portrays Richard Myddelton (†1575), his wife and their sixteen children. There are seven fashionably dressed daughters, and nine sons, one of whom Sir Thomas Myddelton founded the Chirk Castle dynasty and became Lord Mayor of London. Another, Sir Hugh, became a goldsmith-entrepeneur and went on to transform London's water supply. Other sons were Robert and William, the former was MP for Weymouth in Dorset, and a Freeman of Denbigh, whilst William was a sea captain and a distinguished bard.
