Tewkesbury Abbey

Detail of the Beauchamp Chapel (1422-38), with commemorative Latin inscription. It translates as: "Remember the Lady Isabelle Dispenser, Countess of Warwick, who founded this chapel to honor St Mary Magdalen and died in the Minories in London, AD 1439, on St John the Evangelist's Day, and was buried in the choir on the right hand of her father. May God have pity on her soul. Amen."
