Monument to Richard Solly (d1803) by John Bacon Jr.

 

The monument depicts his grieving wife and three children (the eldest of which was just three), and the inscription below tells us that he died aged 33 whilst visiting Malvern for pleasure, where he died following an inflammation of the intestines (dysentery?).
