Sheriff Robert de Jorz plaque and lectern
Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
Aim
Sir Robert de Jorz is a C14th Sheriff of Nottingham he lies in Burton Joyce church we want a proper plaque on a wood lectern 2 mark his tomb
Sir Robert de Jorz was an important knight of the Shire of Nottinghamshire. He served in Parliament and as a Verderer of Sherwood Forest. He was also a Sheriff of Nottingham. He has an impressive tomb in St Hilary’s church in Byron Joyce. His tomb is currently marked by a sign sign which is leaning up on the tomb. We want to create a good wooden free standing lectern with a fine new plaque which explains who he is and what he was. The tomb of Sir Robert is the one place where a visitor can gaze on the face of a real medieval Sheriff Of Nottingham.
We have reached the original target 🎯 for the de Jorz plaque and lectern any extra money will be used to complete a similar project for Sir Simon de Headon another Sheriff of Nottingham
