Baron Montalt

Robert de Montalt was buried at All Saints Church in Maltby le Marsh.

He was buried in the chancel; his tomb has an effigy of a cross-legged knight wearing chain mail and surcoat.

There is an effigy of Sir Robert in the chancel of the church; the head of the figure rests on a pillow upheld by angels, and beneath the feet are two dragons engaged in fierce combat.

Serious flooding took place again during this period and much farm land must have been destroyed, making Mablethorpe and district very poor.

In 1332, a subsidy roll was made; in that year a tax was lived on freeholders, Sokemen and the wealthier villains.

In August 1335 the sea broke through the banks off Mablethorpe causing flooding, drowning sheep and cows and destroying crops.

Queen Isabel had purchased the Montalt Manor to spend time with the FitzWilliams as they were related to the Plantagenets through the blood line of King Henry II's half-brother Hamelin de Gatinais.
