Snettisham, Norfolk, UK

Church of St Mary

 

Monument to Armine Styleman †1819. Marble, West wall of south transept. Commissioned by Styleman family

 

A simplified version of his mother’s monument, with a fluted urn and little architectural detail around the inscription. As Sir Nicholas’s younger son he had been christened with his mother’s name (on the inscription the wording ‘by Armine’ is more suitable for horse breeding) and had followed the traditional career for a younger son in the church as rector of Great Ringstead for 48 years and vicar of East Basham. His wife Anne, who had died in 1795, was placed in the same vault.
