Statue And Tomb 15 Metres North Of St James Church

The statue and tomb located 15 metres north of St. James Church was created in 1910 by the sculptor Gilbert Bayes. It features a rectangular grave tomb made of white marble, topped with a lead figure. The tomb has square corner piers and low ramped walls that step down to the west, where there is a square pier adorned with Doric columns. The east front of the tomb is inscribed with the words: "TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF MY HUSBAND CHARLES HENRY, FIRST BARON OF NUNBURNHOLME. BORN 1833. DIED 1907. THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED BY HIS WIFE." Above this inscription is a life-size allegorical figure holding a wreath, with a scroll at the base that features a Latin motto and is signed by Gilbert Bayes, dated 1909. This memorial is considered an exceptional example of the work of this significant Romantic sculptor.
