RECUSANCY

The Heneage Recusant Family Chapel at Hainton

Hainton Hall is a manor that has been in the possession of a single family for much of its recorded the history.  The church of St Mary, now Anglican, stands in the grounds of Hainton Hall.  The chancel and north chapel contain an unparalleled and virtually unbroken sequence of pre-reformation family monuments dating from the early fourteen hundreds. In the grounds also stands the more recent Catholic Church of St. Francis de Sales. 



The earliest Heneage monument are the brasses to John Heneage (died 1435) and his wife Alice on the chapel floor.  John, who is portrayed in civilian dress, was a yeoman and it was he that managed to acquire a share of the manor of Hainton that established the family in Hainton. The family remained recusants, resolutely devoted to the Catholic Faith during the Tudor and Elizabethan period (it is believed until around 1820).
  


The impressive later sixteenth century monuments at the west end of the chapel, to John Heneage (died 1559) and his sons William died (1610) and George (died 1595) are evidence of this new found wealth. William's monument, showing him and his wives kneeling at prayer has two panels on the top showing the Fall, with Adam and Eve standing next to the Tree of Knowledge and the resurrection of Christ. 



George Heneage is commemorated by a particularly lavish monument, a freestanding tomb chest with a painted alabaster effigy showing him in full armour lying on a rolled-up mat. 

The east end of the chapel has later monuments.  One is a tablet by William Stanton commemorating grandfather, son and grandson, all called George. It is topped by a flaming urn and incorporates garlands and skulls and crossbones.  
.

Next to it is the wall monument to great grandson also called George Heneage (died 1731) by Bertucinni.  His bust, set under a canopy with swags and his wives (both of good recusant families) are commemorated by busts flanking his and separate tablets.  

With such an impressive array of monuments you almost forget about the church itself.  The bottom of the tower is early Norman, but the rest of church is essentially by E J Willson who made all things new sometime between 1847 and 1848.  Willson, who is buried in the churchyard, was a close friend of A W Pugin and the building is Puginian in its archaeological correctness.  

The main body of the church is kept open, but the Heneage chapel is locked. There is plenty of roadside parking. Original post by Rev Allen Barton (Norfolk) on his Lincolnshire Churches blog (here).

LITURGICAL NOTEBOOKS

The LMS have very recently started to produce short videos on various aspects of the Extraordinary Form Mass. To date they have been presented by the Chairman of the Latin Mass Society Joseph Shaw and aim to inform and clarify aspects of the Mass which are often misunderstood.

I have included the last two videos below and the original page can be found here. In fact, in my experience, silence in the liturgy and kneeling to receive Holy Communion are two of the most quoted reasons for Catholics returning to the Latin Mass.

WELCOME TO THE NEW LMS WEBSITE PROMOTING THE

EXTRAORDINARY FORM LATIN MASS IN THE 

TRADITIONAL ROMAN RITE.

This site aims to promote the Latin Mass in the historic county of Lincolnshire. As representative for the Latin Mass Society for the county feel free to contact me at any time. Any queries regarding the Latin Mass are welcome, including if you wish to see the return of the Mass to your church.

Although Lincolnshire has in recent years been the most poorly served county in the country in terms of the Latin Mass, there are now a growing number of Lincolnshire Catholics coming forward and expressing a strong interest in the Mass returning to their own church.

Please return to this site to discover what is happening locally, nationally, and even internationally in the Latin Mass. I will endeavour to post at least twice a week. 

Finally, please feel free to join us on our national LMS events and pilgrimages where you will discover inspiring and authentic Catholic experiences and an extremely welcoming group of people all attached to the Traditional Roman Rite.
