'Henry Faithwaite Leigh, George Leigh and Catherine Pulford', William Spence

This depicts an urn with a coat of arms on it. This is on shelf above a tablet of text.

Accession number WAG8776

Henry Faithwaite Leigh’s epitaph records his involvement in the founding of St Nicholas’s Catholic chapel (the original location of the monument) and its adjoining school. The design of the memorial is quite simple: a relief carving of an urn bearing Leigh’s coat of arms, set against a background of grey marble.
