Summary

[edit]
Description

The Susannah Blesard Memorial of 1856, in St Mark's Church, Woodhouse, Leeds, West Yorkshire. It is at the east end of the north aisle, inside the vestry and under a window also dedicated to Susannah Blesard om 1856. As of 2017 the monument was mostly concealed behind a shelving system, so it could only be partially photographed.

It was carved by Catherine Mawer, and as of 2017 it is in very worn condition. The area where the base panel should be is covered up, so that part may be missing. The sepulchre arch above conceals most of the metal memorial inscription panel, which is now almost illegible, the painted and engraved lettering being much worn away. The sepulchre arch carries a quotation in Gothic lettering: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." (Corinthians 15:22).

The legible part of the memorial inscription says:

"...Memory ... Susannah Blesard ... 31st of March 1855, aged 79 years / widow of Robert Blesard / ... most tender and affectionate wife / a sincere Christian / By her will she provided that an annual sum of money should be distributed at Christmas / to the poor of the district and of Guiseley her native Parish / that the residuary of her effects should be invested in Covenant Securities / in the name of the ecclesiastical Commissioners for England and that the interest be paid in perpetuity / to the Incumbent of this Church. / As a record of the above bequests and as a tribute of affection to her revered Memory / ... this Monument and window are erected by her sole surviving child Phebe the wife of Thomas Tennant."
