st.anne's church, limehouse, london
detail of the c18 pyramid memorial in the churchyard. originally raised on a plinth, its current position has given rise to speculation that it was intended to top the east end of the church, but this was never the case. it bears a coat of arms and the words "the wisdom of solomon" in english and hebrew, presumably a panegyric of the deceased. it could be by hawksmoor, or it could be later.
