of Dunn and Hansom. Each was conceived independently
of the others and they have distinctive furnishing
and decoration. The saints of their dedication
as well as the others portrayed in them all have
connections with Downside, either with the families
of their donors, or with monastic and local traditions.
The area also contains a number of notable tombs,
including that of Cardinal Gasquet, who was Prior
of Downside before becoming a Cardinal. He died in
1929. His self-standing tomb is of Palombino marble
and alabaster. It is covered by an elaborate canopy.
The work is all by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. |
