Attributed to Joshua Marshall (1629-1678; Master Mason to the Crown after 1660) on the basis of its similarity to the monument to Lord and Lady Noel at Chipping Campden. By 1640 Palmer was a junior member of the queen's counsel, and sat for Stamford in the Long Parliament, where he protested against the Grand Remonstrance and was briefly sent to the Tower of London. He was made Attorney General on the restoration of Charles II in 1660. For a closer view of the figures, see www.flickr.com/photos/40878011@N07/5190778670/in/set-7215... .
