Stamford - St Martin - memorial to Benjamin Disraeli in Cecil family chapel 2015-02-18

Presumably erected at the behest of the 3rd marquess of Exeter, who had served as Lord Treasurer of the [royal] Household in 1866-7. On succeeding to the marquessate, he was appointed Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, a post which he continued to hold under Disraeli's premiership, but he never held major political office.
