As these are both 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 (1623)
of alabaster: tomb chest with upper structure with
two flanking columns and obelisks on top. This is shown

and an inscription on the shorter. (left)

Susanna Hare (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 (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 top and
