Description
The Henley monument is a pedestal tomb located about 6 metres south of the southeast corner of the Church of St. Christopher in Ditteridge. It dates from around 1840 and is signed by Pictor of Box. The monument is made of ashlar stone and features inset white marble oval plaques on each side. It has a moulded base and cap, topped with a ridged finial shaped like a draped urn. The plaque on the south side displays a weeping willow above the inscription for A.L. Henly, who died in 1838. The monument is elevated on a stone step and is supported by six twisted iron posts with cross finials, connected by iron chains.
