Monument to the late Earl of Ellesmere in Worsley Church, near Manchester, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Monument to the late Earl of Ellesmere in Worsley Church, near Manchester, 1860....one of the most chaste and beautiful specimens of "in memoriam" sculpture produced in modern time. The design...is by Mr. G. G. Scott, R.A....the carving being executed by Mr. Philip, of Vauxhall Bridge-road. The body of the tomb is of Caen stone, and is enriched with panels, foliated, and bordered and filled in with foliage...Each side of the tomb is divided into three compartments by means of columns, which are of Devonshire marble...In each of these compartments are the arms of the various illustrious families represented in the present noble house of Egerton...Upon the [slab] rests a recumbent effigy of the late amiable and accomplished nobleman in statuary marble, the work of Mr. Matthew Noble. The noble Earl is represented in the robes of the Garter, with his hands crossed upon his breast; the face wears a calm but solemn aspect, being more that of a sound, prolonged sleep than of death, so happily is all suggestion of pain, weakness, or infirmity avoided in it. The carving in every part is of the most delicate finish, the flesh surfaces being full of softness, and the drapery, which is broadly treated, sufficiently defined, as to its rich texture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
