It honors Charles and Elizabeth Walmesley. The monument is made of sandstone and is set on three square steps. It features a square pedestal with a dedicatory inscription, a square shaft with roll-moulded corners, and shields and symbols of the Evangelists at the base. At the top, there are figures of the Virgin and St John on corbels, along with a crocketed gablet. This monument is part of a group that includes the Church of St John and No. 93, St John's Club.
