Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Monument to Katherine Knevet/Knyvett (d.1628) (the wife of Sir Edmund Paston (d.1632)) stands on the north side of the chancel of the parish church of Saint Margaret, Paston, Norfolk. This was created by Nicholas Stone, master-mason to King Charles I, who was frequently employed by the Paston family. It includes a verse epitaph written by the famous metaphysical poet John Donne, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. The monument is made of alabaster and pink-veined marble and features a semi-recumbent effigy of Lady Paston sculpted in white marble and surrounded by numerous allegorical figures. Stone also designed the adjoining monument to her husband Sir Edmund Paston (d.1632), comprising a plain urn on a bare base in an aedicule of black Doric columns. Pevsner commented: "the contrast between the severity of the one and the ebullience of the other is startling". The arms above are Paston (Argent, six fleurs-de-lys azure a chief indented or) impaling Knyvett (Argent, a bend within a bordure engrailed sable) |
