Monument of Sir Richard Kingsmill
at Highclere, Hampshire
by Isaac James and Bartholomew Adye.
Put up in 1601 - 2.
Painted stone monument. This and the previous posing show the only two monuments put up by Adye and James during their short partnership.
Illustrated here for comparison with the stone bust of Sir Thomas Bodley in the Bodleian Library.

The Plaster cast of the Stone bust of Sir Thomas Bodley - currently in store at the Weston Library and unavailable for inspection. Mrs Poole states that it was once painted green.
I hope to get access at some time in order to make comparison with the original. Whilst there appears to be no clear evidence - the bust has an 18th Century style socle and is perhaps by John Cheere who made the series of plaster busts in the Codrington Library at All Souls College, Oxford.
