The Stanley Monument in Chelsea Old Church, restored by the Earl of Derby in 1858, (1858). At the east end of the chapel [in the old Church of St. Luke] is...an altartomb, made of yellow-veined alabaster...[It] is 7 feet 3 inches long by 12 feet high. In the middle is a scutcheoned urn, surmounted by an eagle, the square base of the urn containing an alto-relievo portrait of Sir Robert Stanley. On either side are two smaller urns, surmounted by gilded flames, the square bases being decorated by portraits of the two children of Sir Robert. Between the centre urn and that on the left is a figure of Justice, bearing a sword and an emblazoned flag; and on the right side of the centre urn is a figure of Fortitude, holding a crown and an emblazoned shield. Round the edge of the black marble slab which forms the base is inscribed: "Sir Robert Stanley, second son of William Earl of Derby, who deceased 3rd January, 1632...To ye lastinge memorie of two of his children that is to say Ferdinando Stanley his sonne and Henarite Marie [Henrietta Maria] Stanley his daughter who lye buryed with in this his sepulcher."...The widow of Sir Robert Stanley, the Lady Elizabeth Stanley, daughter of Henry Earl of Lincoln, and her descendants, resided at Stanley House, Chelsea, until 1691'.
