CHAPTER XIV

MONUMENTS IN THE CHURCHYARD

AMONGST the papers in the muniment room at the new church is a plan, dated November 1820, and inscribed, "A Sketch of the Churchyard of St. Luke's, Chelsea, with figures of reference to the collection of inscriptions, showing the situation of the stones." It is much to be regretted that this collection is lost. The plan is numbered up to 130, but such is the present condition of the churchyard that I am unable to account for more than a dozen or two complete inscriptions. Should the Trustees at any time think fit to put the churchyard in a decent state, a good many slabs which are now, as I know, buried, could be brought to light but, as it is, it is useless to attempt an exhaustive account of the epitaphs, and I must be content to notice the more interesting amongst those which are still legible, or of which there exist records elsewhere. The monuments in the burying-ground in the King's Road, consecrated in 1736, I shall not here attempt to notice.

Lysons mentions the following tombs as being in the churchyard (in 1795), in addition to those that I shall notice presently :

(no date) Thomas Allstone, Esq., of the County of Suffolk. (no date)S. Pattison, architect.

1692. Samuel Forest.

1702. Christopher Cratford, Gent.

This tomb, a cenotaph, is still in existence, standing to the north-east of the Lawrence Chapel. The name is all that is now decipherable of the inscription.

1704. Flora, daughter of Henry Butts, gent.

1712. Robert Butler, Esq. (see chap. xv.).

1723. Mrs. Methuen.

1723.

1787. Major George Henderson, of the 13th Regt. of Foot.

1798. Nov. 22. Mrs. Sarah Howell, aged 48, and Mr. James Howell, her husband, 2 Feby. 1810, aged 64.
