Sir John and Lady Catherine Harpur.
St Giles Church, Calke, Derbyshire.
By Sir Henry Cheere (1703-1781).
c. 1741 - 46.
The monument cost £200.
With the distinctive use of coloured marble favoured by Cheere.
The curved brackets are another frequent Cheere motif.
I suspect that the busts were subcontracted - perhaps to Roubiliac.
This church is the nave of the medieval church that until
its first restoration in the 1570s had a chancel, tower and spire. It was
rebuilt in 1827-29 by Sir George Crewe who restored the church adding new
windows, building a tower and casing the entire exterior in stone.
