At the west end of the church stands the memorial to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley installed in 1854. The marble monument, the work of sculptor Henry Weekes shows Shelley's wife Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (author of Frankenstein) mourning over the body of her husband who drowned off the coast of Italy in 1822. The window, known as the 'Te Deum' window, was a gift from Admiral Walcott M.P and was installed in 1861. The font is a twentieth century replica of the 1220 marble font which stands in the North Quire Aisle near the Salisbury Chantry. Both fonts depict scenes from the Bible. |
