                         The Monument  Samuel Bosanquet, d.1765, and wife Mary, d.1765. 

                                   At the top, a small base or socle would once have held an urn or lamp.  

The monument is signed it appears J. Pafc, but the f is an s, and there is a missing final letter, thus J. Pasco. 

Joseph Pasco fl. 1728 - 65. lived in Hackney and carried out repairs on the Parish Church in 1754.

Elected churchwarden at Hackney in 1765.

                          It appears that Pasco provided two other monuments  -

1728 - Rene Baudoin at St Mary Aldemary City of London and in 1758,  Anne Meade at Great Easton Essex.

“Green is something of a mystery figure since his common surname makes it difficult to identify him from contemporary records. He was the son of a tailor, Edward Greene of St Giles, Cripplegate, in the City of London,  and was probably born c1659, since he is likely to have been about 14  when he was apprenticed to a London mason, John Fitch, on 27 March 1673...”

 

“Twenty of his monuments have been identified, either because he  advertised his authorship with a prominent signature or because he  transcribed the inscriptions for publication in John Le Nevea’s Monumenta Anglicana, 1717-19”.

The Monument to Sir Richard Earle.

StMichaels Parish Church, Stragglethorpe, Lincs. 

“Green’s first known work, the monument to Sir Richard Earle at Stragglethorpe, Lincs was  commissioned by the mother of the deceased, Eleanor Payne, nee Welby,  and was probably completed around 1700. It has two busts flanking a  tablet with distinctive consoles and above is a segmental pediment, with a heavy curtain drawn up over it to reveal a panel with four winged  cherub heads.
