Summary

Description
English: Illustration of an alabaster monument to Sir Cavalliero Maycote, his wife Marie and their nine children, drawn by John Pridden in 1785. Pridden's use of shadow indicates that the figures were sculpted in the round. The monument was mounted on the south wall, inside the chancel of St Mary's Church, Reculver. It did not record the date of Cavalliero Maycote's death, but he was recorded as living in 1618. The monument was destroyed in 1809, when most of the church was demolished. A vault containing the family's coffins is under the ruined chancel of the church. The text below the figures is printed at Pridden, p. 166.
