Above are images of Sir Thurstan de Bower and his wife Margaret in St John the Baptist church, Tideswell, England. Thurstan became one of the elite squires retained by the king who was chosen for their skill in arms, wisdom, wealth and social standing in Britain. Chaucer reliably informs us it "was a great honour, exceedingly rare, and given only to a chosen few." He fought in the Scottish campaign and in the battle of Shrewsbury dressed in the king's livery, and for services rendered, Thurstan became Lord of the Manor of Little Longstone. He lived to see five medieval kings on the throne of England and received Royal Commissions for the defence of the realm during the king's absence in France. Sir Thurstan Wearing an SS collar c1395, and his wife Margaret de Bower lie here in the De Bower Chapel. They are said to have built the transept.
