Stow Bardolph

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stow Bardolph is a village in the west of Norfolk, England, lying between King's Lynn and Downham Market on the A10.

The Stow Bardolph estate was purchased by the Hare family in 1553. Stow Hall was constructed in 1589 by Nicholas Hare, Master of the Rolls and Keeper of the Great Seal.

A wax effigy of the face and hands of Sarah Hare (died 1744) in a mahogany case remains in the Hare Chapel of Stow's Holy Trinity Church[1]. It is the only funerary effigy of its kind outside Westminster Abbey. There is a stained glass window to the memory of Reverend James William Adams VC who was vicar here.
