A National Monument is erected in St. Pauls Cathedral		 Honiton memorial

A memorial was erected in St. Michael's church, Honiton, to commemorate the town's famous son. Standing to the left of the altar, it is a bas-relief work, carved from grey marble. Although the design is different from the memorial in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, the legend (above) is the same.
