Description

The memorial plaque and enclosing railings are attached to the external east wall of the chancel below the east window of the Church of St. Michael in Kirby-le-Soken. This memorial, made of cast iron, dates from the mid-19th century. The large plaque features capitals and bases to the side shafts, along with a moulded four-centred arched head. It commemorates Richard Savage, who died on 3 February 1816, and his widow Mary, who passed away on 7 February 1832, both at the age of 82. The plaque also honors several of their children and Mrs. Thomas Grist, the father of Mrs. Savage, who died on 9 August 1793. It is described as "this humble token of filial affection set up by Wlm. Henry Savage, Citizen and Grocer of London, their only surviving son." The plaque was cast by Coleman and Wallis.

Short cast iron railings are attached to the southeast and southwest corners of the chancel, enclosing a small memorial garden. The railings feature twisted posts with octagonal bases and arched braces that form two-centred arches below the top rails, topped with ornate finials.
