Sculpture group by Ian Wolter, unveiled earlier this summer by Lord Alf Dubs, reflecting the plight of children caught up in the present refugee crisis. The poses echo the figures in Rodin's famous "Burghers of Calais".

Note that in place of the city keys, the boy in the foreground is holding a lifejacket.

Memorial to the third and fifth sons of Lord and Lady Braybrook, who died within a week of each other in the Crimea War in 1854: Henry Allworth Neville (30) was mortally wounded at the Battle of Inkermann, and Grey Neville (24) was wounded in the Charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaklava and died in the hospital at Scutari (of Florence Nightingale fame).

Black Tournai marble tomb of Thomas Audley, Baron Walden, Lord Chancellor of England from 1533 to 1544.

Simon Jenkins quotes Thomas Fuller's "Worthies of England" (1662) as saying that the marble was "not blacker than the soul, or harder than the heart, of the man whose bones lie beneath it". Whatever the justice (or otherwise) of this comment, it is somewhat ironic that his tomb now finds itself wedged between cupboards and filing cabinets!
