Description
The Pender Monument is a chest tomb located about 10 metres south of the Church of St. Andrew in Donhead St. Andrew. It commemorates Sir James Pender, who died in 1921. The monument is made of yellow limestone and was originally situated within a railed enclosure. It features a large Edwardian Baroque design on a wide plinth, with convex sides that include inscription cartouches on the end panels. The monument is adorned with a high relief carved cartouche of arms and has enriched diagonal volutes leading to a foliage-carved cornice atop a wide flat top. Sir James Pender resided at Donhead House and served as the Member of Parliament for Mid-Northants from 1895 to 1900.
