This set of three memorial plaques in a church, dedicated to John Brathwaite, his wife, and Colonel Lionel Dorling, was created by British sculptor John Flaxman, known for his neoclassical style. The central plaque features a sculpted figure of a woman in mourning, reflecting the grief associated with the passing of the individual honored. The plaques are a testament to Flaxman's mastery of both sculptural and inscriptional art, employing a simple yet dignified form that effectively communicates the respect and affection for the deceased.
