St. Lawrence's Church, Towcester - Monuments

The monuments in St. Lawrence's Church, Towcester, were recorded by George Baker in his History & Antiquities of the County of Northamptonshire 1830 and by John Bridges in "The History and Antiquities of the County of Northamptonshire". The section includes a complete list, with details of those that survive.

Trotters drawing of 1802   Trotter inscribed his 1802 coloured engraving of various monuments in the church:

"Various MONUMENTS in the Church of TOWCESTER NORTHAMPTONSHIRE taken 1799. These Monuments having nothing remarkable in them are indiscriminately crowded together in one Drawing. That of Mary Hastings is neatly executed in free Stone, that of Willm. Benson in Marble elegantly adorn'd with a variety of ornament, The Rev.d Mr. Lawford in a simple Marble Tablet, and the Slab displaying the Arms and Inscription of George Benson Esqr. is of blue Granite in the pavement under that of Willm. Benson."
