Memories in marble
Sculpted in beautiful marble, the memorial to Colonel Alexander Champion caught my eye during a visit to Bath Abbey.
The lighting was perfect to highlight this lovely detailed memorial.
I discovered its talented creator was one Joseph Nollekens RA (1737 - 1823), born in England.
And Alexander Champion served in the army of the East India Company for two decades. He became the Commander in Chief in 1774.
He died in Bath in 1793.
