The Sir Thomas Wroughton monument, from 1597, in St Peter ad VIncula Church in the Wiltshire village of Broad Hinton.
The monument reflects the legend that he came home from hunting to find his wife, Anne, reading the Bible instead of cooking his supper. He flung the Bible in the fire and she badly burned her hands retrieving it. His blasphemous behaviour caused his hands to wither away, as well as those of his children. Anne holds a partly burned Bible.
Wroughton was clearly a bit of a character: Sheriff of Wiltshire, yet listed among poachers of the King’s deer in the records of the Wardens of Savernake Forest!
