St Olave's, London

This is Elisabeth Pepys (1640 - 1669) monument in St Olave's Church, London. I took this photo during the lunch break of a meeting of the Church Monuments Society in 2018. Elisabeth married Samuel Pepys when she was just 15, and died when she was 29 of typhoid. Almost everything we know about her is from Pepys' diaries. Despite his regular philandering, including with Elisabeth's maids, he does seem to have genuinely cared for her.
