“For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.”
Job 30:23 KJV
This memorial of fine white marble that would do justice to any cathedral is on the north side of the chancel. The Honourable Richard Murray was the son of Lord Henry Murray whose obelisk memorial dominates the churchyard. “Surmounted by cannon, flags, drums etc it reflects no doubt his service as Lieutenant Colonel in the Coldstream Guards at some time with the Duke of Wellington. This monument was carved by C.M. Seddon of Liverpool. Seddon flourished from 1824 to 1858 and was an exhibitor at the Liverpool Academy; his work is to be found not only in Liverpool, but also as far afield as Shrewsbury.”
