Henry Hoare I and Henry Hoare II memorials

Against the East wall of the aisle is a memorial to Henry Hoare I (d. 1724), with urns spouting gilded flames, flanking a very large inscribed tablet listing Hoare's lineage and accomplishments. On the South wall is a memorial to Henry Hoare II (1705-1785), the creator of Stourhead Gardens. The memorial is flanked by urns, and above an inscription are two cherubs, one bearing a scroll, the other holding an urn. The memorial is signed by C Harris and dated 1789.
