The Monument to Samuel Peploe by Henry Cheere in Chester Cathedral

Samuel Peploe (1667 - 1752).

Bishop of Chester from 1725.

This exceptional mural monument has for some reason fallen below the radar.

It is not inscribed but has all the hallmarks of a work of Henry Cheere (1703 - 81).

It is not mentioned in the Biographical Dictionary....... Pub Yale 2009.

Another monument that would be dramatically improved with a gentle wash.
