<p>A view of the squint into the 15th-century Dean’s Chapel, alongside the Beauchamp Chapel. (A squint, I discover, also known as a hagioscope, is an opening, usually oblique, cut through a wall in a church to enable the congregation - in this case, the small number of attenders in the Dean’s Chapel - to see the altar during mass.)</p>

<p>One of two curious decorative figures (sadly I only photographed this one) near the top of the wonderful tomb of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, and his wife Lettice. The figure doesn't look like a religious one, or even a mythological character, so she's a bit of a mystery.</p>

<p>The finial (if that's the right term) at the top of the canopy over the wonderful tomb of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, and his wife Lettice.<br />
One of the more colourful characters of Elizabeth I’s reign, he was condemned to death in 1553 after his father, the Duke of Northumberland, failed to establish Lady Jane Grey on the English throne. He was released in 1554 and having taken part in the Battle of St Quentin under Philip II of Spain, was accepted again at the Court. On Elizabeth I's accession in 1558, Dudley was appointed Master of the Horse (a bigger role than it sounds). He then became a Privy Councillor, Lord Steward of the Royal Household, and in 1564, became Earl of Leicester and one of the greatest landowners in north Wales and the west midlands. During the Spanish Armada, he was in overall command of the English land forces, and he invited Queen Elizabeth to visit her troops at Tilbury, where she gave her very rousing speech. He also organised a spectacular festival at his seat Kenilworth Castle in 1575 on the occasion of a three-week visit by the Queen.</p>

<p>The praying hands of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester and his wife Lettice. Dudley’s first wife, Amy Robsart, died after falling down a flight of stairs in 1560, thought by many to be a suspicious death. He courted Queen Elizabeth assiduously, and for 18 years he did not remarry. When he finally did, his new wife, Lettice Knollys, was permanently banished from court, a cause of much sorrow, as was the death of his only legitimate son, ‘the noble impe’, who is buried in the same chapel. Dudley was buried, at his request, in the Beauchamp Chapel, as was Lettice when she died in 1634.<br />
The engraved epitaph above, commissioned by Lettice, modestly mentions his marriage to her in the last few lines, where he is described as 'best and dearest of husbands'. She survived him by 46 years.</p>
