Inv. no. 8776

 
Henry Faithwaite Leigh's epitaph records his involvement in the founding of St Nicholas's Catholic chapel (the original location of the monument - see: William White's text) and its adjoining school. The design of the memorial is simple: a relief carving of an urn bearing Leigh's coat of arms, set against a background of grey marble.
