The Clarke Memorial All Saints Church Nynehead

In the southeast corner of the south transept is a large memorial to Elizabeth Clarke née Lottisham of Chipley Park, who died in 1667, aged 42. The monument was made at Milverton and cost £25. Edward Clarke of Bradford on Tone, a widower with three small children (Ursula, Anne and Edward) married Elizabeth who was the granddaughter and ultimate heiress of Edward Warre of Chipley. She and Edward had no children so she bequeathed Chipley to her stepson Edward, who took over the estate when his father died in 1679.
