Thomas Langton Freke - King's Sutton, Northamptonshire

This dramatic plaster wall monument, dated 1769, commemorates Thomas Langton Freke and is mounted at Kings Sutton, though not in its original position. The work has been attributed to John Bacon, but its style is more convincingly aligned with the Baroque sculptural tradition associated with Louis-François Roubiliac.
