The tablet beneath - here left blank - is filled with an inscription on the completed monument. The pediment is there inscribed with the title of the subject depicted, 'COME THOU BLESSED'. \n\nAgnes Cromwell, the daughter of Captain Henry Cromwell, R.N. and his wife Mary, died at the age of eighteen.\n\nJohn Flaxman (1755-1826) was an English sculptor, designer and teacher. He was the most famous English Neo-classical sculptor of the late 18th century and the early 19th. He focused on monumental sculpture and church monuments and portrait busts. A large collection of his plaster models is held in the Strang Print Room, University College, London. He also made outline illustrations of Homer, Aeschylus and Dante. Many of those in his sketchbooks (now in the V&amp;A) were drawn from the antique while he was in Italy. Furthermore he produced models for pottery and silver supplying the pottery manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood among others. He thus can be considered as an important pioneer in the development of Industrial Design.","physicalDescription":"Sketch model for a monument to Agnes Cromwell in Chichester Cathedral.
