Note.—Although the Monument, or rather Cenotaph, is erected in the Church of St. Nicholas, Mr and Mrs Henry Askew and their infant Son were interred in a family vault in St. John's, as were also Adam Askew and Anne his Wife, with several of their children.
In the centre of this very beautiful Monument is displayed an altar or pedestal, surmounted by an urn, in which are supposed to be deposited the ashes of the deceased, and on its exterior their profile likenesses are admirably sculptured in basso-relievo. On the left of the altar is an exquisite female figure, illustrative of Gratitude, in the act of directing two beautiful children, a male and female, who occupy the front, bearing wreaths of flowers, to present them to Benevolence, who is represented on the right of the urn, which she embraces with one arm, and with the other enwreathes it with the children's offering. Near this figure a Pelican is discovered with her young, deriving nourishment from the parent's "Bosom's vital stream." A Dove, emblematic of innocence, nestles at the children's feet ; and a Stork, whose filial tenderness and watchful affection render its introduction peculiarly appropriate, is seen to the left of Gratitude. The whole is admirably executed, and beautifully illustrative of the inscription. »
