This monument created by Lawrence Macdonald in 1850 is one of a series of dynastic monuments honoring the Finch family. Lady Winchilsea (1809–1848) died young and is depicted elegantly in neo-classical style, with a poetic inscription that conveys the sorrow of her early passing. The sculpture was crafted by Scottish sculptor Lawrence Macdonald, who trained in Edinburgh before spending most of his adult life living and working in Rome. He consistently exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, also showcasing works at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Prince Albert was a patron, and he created ideal sculptures for Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. This monument stands out as one of his most highly regarded works, exemplifying classicising style in sculpture that persisted well into the mid-19th century.
