Tablet

(1619) (above

As these are older than the chapel, which was built of brick against
the north side of the church in 1624, they are presumably
from the body of the church. Sir
Ralph Hare (ob 1623) of alabaster: tomb chest with upper structure
with two flanking columns and obelisks on top. This is shown left,
the second illustration. His actual tomb is shown above this: simple
tomb chest with arms on the longer aspect and an inscription on
the shorter. (left) Sir
Thomas Hare (ob 1693) White marble. A semi-reclining figure
wearing a wig, yet Roman armour. On tomb chest with thickly
fluted cornice. No backing. Attributed to Grinling Gibbons (left
& below) Susanna
Hare (ob 1741) Semi-reclining figure in loose robes against
a classical reredos with two cherubs' heads in the clouds. Of white
and grey marble. By Peter Scheemakers.(left
& below) Sarah
Hare (ob 1744) She died age eighteen. In her will of August
10th 1743, she requested '...I desire my face and hands made
in wax with a piece of crimson satin thrown like a garment in a
picture hair upon my head and put in a case of mahogany with a glass
before and fix'd up so near the place were my corps lyes as it can
be with my name and time of Death put upon the case in a manner
most desirable if I do not execute this in my life I desire it may
be done after my Death.' This was carried out to the letter
and this rather horrifying life like effigy can still be seen in
what appears to be a cupboard a demi-effigy wearing clothes
of the period. It is likely that the face and hands were made from
impressions taken either in life or shortly after death. The monument
was restored in 1984 by Miss Jean Frazer (formerly of Madam Tussauds),
who, of course, restored the wax, and by Mrs Judith Dore (formerly
Senior Conservation Officer to the Victoria and Albert Museum) who
restored the textiles. (right

figure of Hope with anchor leaning on an urn against which rests
an upturned torch. All of white marble against a gray obelisk. By
