J J Petre memorial and CalvaryJ J Petre memorial and calvary in Ingatestone Catholic Church. The memorial was moved here from the chapel at Ingatestone Hall in 1932 when the church was opened. The church is one land next to where Tor Bryan House (the Sebastian Petre family house) used to stand. It is now a housing estate called "Tor Bryan", the name reflecting the connection between the Petre family and that parish in South Devon.Contributed by:
