Simon KnottTo Hereford Cathedral for #MonumentsMonday, and three Bishops of Hereford. Firstly, Bishop Robert Bennet, who died in 1617. Someone didn't approve of his praying hands. 1/3

3/3 Lastly from Hereford Cathedral, an elegant Georgian wall memorial to Bishop John Butler, who died in 1802. He looks a genial old soul.

2/3 Next in Hereford Cathedral, Bishop Herbert Westphaling, who died in 1602. Only his effigy survives, the rest of his monument was probably lost during Thomas Wyatt's late 18th Century restoration after the west tower fell.

2/3 Harvey Goodwin, 58th Bishop of Carlisle, by Hamo Thorneycroft, 1894. When I was a paper boy half a century ago Harvey Goodwin Avenue in Cambridge, where he's remembered for the Industrial School he founded, was on my round. And here he is in a far northern city.

An unusual memorial to John Wareing Bardsley, 59th Bishop of Carlisle, in the Cathedral. It's by the sculptor Andrea Carlo Lucchesi, 1906. 'A strange bronze tablet, as if cut out in leather', thought @YalePevsner.

3/3 Dorothy Heysham and Dorothea Heysham Milne, her niece perhaps, who died in 1837 and 1828 respectively. Another memorial in Carlisle Cathedral.

2/3 A small, sweet memorial of 1757 to 23 year old Catherine Senhouse, tucked away in another corner of Carlisle Cathedral. The Senhouse family were of some long local significance. One of their number had been one of the last pre-Reformation priors here.

Elizabeth Dunbar. She was the daughter of the sculptor David Dunbar who made a tender image of her for her memorial in Carlisle Cathedral when she died in 1821.
