English: Mural monument to Anthony Dennis (d.1641) of Orleigh Court, Buckland Brewer parish, Devon & of his wife Gertrude Grenville. Buckland Brewer Church, north wall of north aisle ("Orleigh Chapel")
The mural monument to Anthony Dennis (died 1641) and his second wife Gertrude Grenville is situated in the north east corner of the north aisle ("Orleigh Chapel") of Buckland Brewer Church.(Described in Rogers (1938), p. 26–27) The couple are shown kneeling opposite one another with an altar between them. In an oval medallion above is inscribed:
Below are shown figures of his 11 children, eight kneeling in prayer, three lying down denoting their deaths as infants. Only three of the names inscribed above each survive: "Mary", "Arthur" and "Elizabeth". Below are shown further lines of verse:
The last line is a chronogram, with capitals representing Roman numerals inserted into the Latin phrase: Gertruda uxor sua charissima struxit(Described in Rogers (1938), p. 27) ("Gertrude his dearest wife built (it)"). The numbers when added together each as a separate unit come to 1643, presumably the date the monument was erected (V+D=505; V+X=15: V=5; C+I+I+M=1102; V+X+I=16). A similar chronogram is contained in the 1638 Fortescue family mural monument in Weare Giffard Church The armorials shown include the following:
