somerset house , london

1633 memorial to catherine guilermet , wife of jehan bluteau, who seems to have been potager to queen henrietta maria, probably her vegetable gardener rather than her cook. deep in the cellars underneath the courtyard this is one of a group of interesting c17 memorials removed from the catholic chapel of the original palace here, not mentioned in pevsner. contrary to claims elsewhere I'd say it is extremely unlikely that the bodies are still with the stones.
