Description
The Nicholson monument is a headstone located approximately 3 metres south of the west end of the Church of St Nicholas in Broadwey, Weymouth. Erected in 1870, it commemorates Thomas Henry Nicholson and Charlotte Neville Burnard. Made of Portland stone, this distinctive 'portrait' memorial features a tall slab with a rounded top. It has carved drapes over a sunk panel that displays the profiles of the two deceased, along with an artist's palette depicted in low relief. The inscription notes that Nicholson was an artist who lived from 1815 to 1870, and Charlotte, who lived from 1858 to 1870, was the youngest child of his sister Mary Ann Burnard and her husband, sculptor Neville Northey Burnard, who carved the monument.
