      CHURCH COMMEMORATION OF JOHN WAGSTAFFE

      ====================================================



      On the south side is another of similar material to Sir Thomas Wagstaffe, 22 January 1708–9, and Frances (Samwell) his wife, 21 July 1706, erected by their only daughter, Dame Frances Bagot. It has composite shafts supporting a curved pediment, two cherubs, a flaming urn and an achievement of arms. On the same wall another mural monument is to John Wagstaffe, 4 June 1681, and Alice (Stinton) his wife, 4 November 1681. A tablet in the north aisle is to John, son of Sir John Rous of Worcester, who married Mary, widow of Thomas Wagstaffe and died 6 November 1680; she died 3 March 1686–7. It has a broken curved pediment and achievement of arms.

      There are three bells, (fn. 64) the treble of 1653, the second of 1719 (by Richard Sanders), and the third of 1740.

      A paten of 1699 is the only old piece of communion plate in use at the church: 'ex dono Thos. Wagstaffe 1700'. There is also a chalice and a flagon, not in regular use, each bearing the same inscription and the arms of Wagstaffe.

      The registers begin in 1538, but there are several gaps in the early period.




      Advowson

      There was a priest attached to the bishop's manor of Tachbrook in 1086 (fn. 65) and the advowson of the church remained in the hands of the bishops. By the middle of the 13th century the rectory had been appropriated to form the corpus of the Prebend of Tachbrook in Lichfield Cathedral. (fn. 66) In 1291, however, Tachbrook is not named among the prebends, (fn. 67) and the church is entered as worth £20. (fn. 68) At some time during the next 30 years a vicarage must have been ordained, the advowson of which was reserved to the bishop. (fn. 69) In 1535 the prebend was worth £10, and the vicarage £5 13s. 4d. (fn. 70) Bishop Richard Sampson in 1549 sold the advowson to Thomas Fisher with the manor, (fn. 71) to which it remained attached until at least 1702. (fn. 72) By 1717 the patronage was in the hands of the Prebendary of Tachbrook, (fn. 73) with whom it remained until 1796, when the advowson was vested by Act of Parliament in the bishop. (fn. 74) In 1852 it was transferred to the Bishop of Worcester, (fn. 75) but in 1918 it was conveyed to the Bishop of Coventry, in whose hands it now is.

      In 1336 John Mallory had licence to alienate in mortmain a messuage, a virgate of land, and 3 acres of meadow in Tachbrook for a chaplain to celebrate daily in the chapel of St. James for the souls of himself and his wife Margery. (fn. 76) The chantry had evidently fallen out of use before 1493, in which year John Mallory conveyed to Benet Medley land and 'a former chapel of St. James and St. Luke' in Tachbrook. (fn. 77) The remains of the chapel are now incorporated in a farmhouse (see above).
