Effigy, Robert
Southey
June 30. A new Church at Upperby was
consecrated by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, and the next
day his lordship consecrated Renwick Church, which
has been rebuilt and enlarged.
A recumbent effigy of the poet Southey, executed in marble,
by Mr. Lough, of Newcastle, has been place in
Crosthwaite Church, at the expense of James Stanger,
Esq. The costume is a plain gown or academical robes. The
right hand rests on a volume by his side; the left is placed
on his breast. This is the third monument erected to the
memory of the Poet, there being a bust in Bristol cathedral,
and another in the Poet's Corner of Westminster abbey.
