The monument shows Alderman Richard Humble and his two wives Elizabeth and Isabel.
A City Alderman, Humble was a member of the Church Vestry of St
Saviour's and got into trouble for grazing his sheep in the
churchyard! The monument is a typical example of the 'Southwark
School' of monuments made by a group of Flemish refugee sculptors
who lived and worked on Bankside. The area around the Cathedral
has a long tradition of accepting refugees into the community. |
