Busy day church crawling in Norfolk. Was particularly struck by the memorial to Lady Dionis Williamson at Holy Trinity Loddon, Norfolk. d. 1684. Very lifelike. #monumentsMonday

#MonumentsMonday The Cobb setting in Corsham church is intriguing. You can lots more about it here! Very dusty and grimy, but are the original tinctures intact? churchmonumentssociety.org/monument-of-th…

He was also a talented designer of postage stamps, and pub signs.

A curious memorial at St Peter’s, Oundle for Martha Kirkham (d 1616)

The Renaissance detailing of columns & strapwork are fine, if a little rustic, but I find the plain, effigy-less black slab a little incongruous 🤔
