This monument to the first Bishop of Southwark is a cenotaph or empty tomb as Talbot went on to become Bishop of Winchester where he was buried. The effigy shows the bishop in cope and mitre with the symbols of the four Gospel writers at the corners. This is one of the Cathedral's most attractive memorials.
