Note 259b — Chapter XII · WILMSLOW CHURCH, CHESHIRE. [253a]

“Henry Trafford, D.D., built the chancel, 1522; made the tomb north of the communion rails. He was a younger brother of the Traffords, of Trafford.”—Parl. Reg.; see Ormerod’s Cheshire, vol. iii. p. 311 (note p). Is it possible that we are intended, by the above passage, to understand that he made the tomb on the north side of the communion rails, in anticipation of his own death?
