RATAEDL posted a photo:
(St Andrew)"The chancel is a storehouse of monuments of the Packe family..."(Pevsner).(The Packes lived at the adjacent Prestwold Hall).Detail of the very fine monument to Charles Hussey Packe,who died of fever aged 15 in 1842.By Richard Westmacott Jun.,it depicts him in his Eton school clothes.It has much of the feeling of Joseph Banks's Penelope Boothby of the end of the previous century,at Ashbourne.
