St Mary's church, Callington - tomb of Sir Robert Willoughby de Broke
Lying on his tomb-chest is the armoured effigy of Robert, 1st Lord Willoughby de Broke (†1502), Steward of the Duchy of Cornwall. It is of the finest alabaster, and considered to be one of the most magnificent in the West Country. Born at Broke Hall in Wiltshire in 1452, he married Blanche Champernowne of Bere Ferrers in the 1470s.
A strong Lancastrian and friend of Henry VII whom he supported in his struggle for the throne, he was rewarded with the Order of the Garter (shown on his effigy) after the Battle of Bosworth. The most important of the many offices of state that were bestowed on him was that of Lord High Steward. A peerage followed in 1492, and his last official act was to welcome Princess Catherine of Aragon to Exeter in 1501. He escorted her to London to meet Prince Arthur, the older brother of Henry VIII, but who died young. Sir Robert died the following year whilst on business in the Callington district, and in accordance with his wishes was buried here.
