In the entry of St Botolph without Aldgate (moved from the exterior of the church, where he is buried). From his listing on Find A Grave: Merchant and philanthropist. Born the second son of Henry Dove. Over the course of his marriage, he had five sons, and they lived in the parish of St. Clement Eastcheap. He served his apprenticeship in London finishing it in 1550. He was called to the livery in 1562, and rose through the ranks to become Master of the Merchant Taylors in 1578. He also was a member of the City Common Council from 1565 to 1593. He traded with both Russia, Spain and Flanders and was a member of the Russia Company between 1555 and 1590. By 1577, he also was a collector of a subsidy on exports. He outlived his wife and the Merchant Taylors' Company erected the monument to him on this death. He shared his financial success with many charities. He provided funds to the parish church of St. Sepulchre, various prisons and nineteen poor households. In his estate, he allowed twenty pounds yearly to be distributed to the poor and aged.

Dickens describes this in The Uncommercial Traveller : “The gate is ornamented with skulls and crossbones…wrought in stone; but it likewise came into the mind of St. Ghastly Grim that to stick iron spikes a-top of the stone skulls, as though they were impaled, would be a pleasant device. Therefore the skulls grin aloft horribly, thrust through and through with iron spears.” See where this picture was taken. [?]

Over the passageway to the left of St Mary at Hill Church, on the St Mary at Hill Street side of the church, as opposed to the Lovat Lane side and definitely not on Monument Street where Google thinks it is. I initially thought this pediment belonged to the building next to the church, but it turns out to be a part of the church itself. Originally posted to Guess Where London group.
