Uploader's Comments

The marble memorial on the south side of the Altar is a very fine example of the work of P Scheemakers. It is the tomb of Lewis, the 1st Earl of Rockingham, who died in 1724. His wife is with him, and they stand on either side of a marble sarcophagus. He is wearing Roman dress and she wears an ermine mantle. There is a dancing putto on the sarcophagus carrying a wreath and a toy trumpet.
