WAS trip to Flag Fen and Peterborough 8th July 2017

Unfortunately, I did not note down who this monument is to.

This monument comes from the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, Peterborough. The monument is to Thomas Deacon. It has a long and fulsome inscription including the wonderful line "He had an ample Estate which he fairly acquired..." Makes one wonder how other people acquired their estates! The school trust he created in his will still exists today as the Thomas Deacon Foundation. He died on the 19th August 1721 aged 70.
