Monument Westminster Abbey.

North Transept

'Sacred to the Memory / of Sir PETER WARREN / Knight of the Bath / Vice Admiral of the Red Squadron / of the British Fleet / and Member of Parliament / for the City and Liberty of Westminster. 

/ He derived his Descent from an antient Family in IRELAND, / his Fame and Honours from his Virtues and Abilities. / How eminently these were displayed, / with what Vigilance and Spirit they were exerted / in the various services wherein he had the Honour to Command, / and the Happiness to Conquer, / will be more properly recorded in the Annals of / GREAT BRITAIN. / On this tablet Affection with truth must say / that deservedly esteemed in Private Life / and universally, renowned for his publick conduct, / The judicious and gallant officer / possessed all the amiable qualities of the Friend, / the Gentleman and the Christian. / But the ALMIGHTY / whom alone he feared; / whose Gracious Protection he had often experienced, / was pleased to remove him from a Life of Honour, / to an eternity of Happiness / on the 29th day of July 1752 in the 49th year of his Age. / 

SUSANNAH his Afflicted Wife caused / this Monument to be erected'

This portrait is one of three of Warren which, according to a payment made by his widow after his sudden death in July 1752, Hudson painted in 1751 or 1752 at a total cost of £114.19s; this sum probably included the frames. This frame to this portrait is of a style favoured by the artist in the 1750s and is a somewhat gauche English translation of a contemporary French frame type.

I have tried several times over the last few years to obtain better photographs of these busts but so far with limited success.
