Memorial tablet, Tetcott Church
Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 6 Nov 2007
A rather striking egg-shaped relief on the wall of Image, commemorating members of the well-known Devon family of Arscott. This is one of four Arscott memorials in the church (http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Tetcott/Stabb-Tetcott.html ). Hoskins becomes quite carried away in his book "Devon": "There are magical overtones in the very words Arscott of Tetcott. They epitomise all the ancient Devonshire squires and their homes: the wind-flung rooks on December afternoons, branch-strewn parks emerging from curtains of fine rain, rambling, echoing stone-flagged houses set all alone at the end of muddy lanes, darkened by beeches and sycamores".
