EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia drawing captures the timeless beauty of Eccleshall Church and its remarkable tomb, dedicated to Bishop William Overton. Created by artist John Robert Fernyhough in the 19th century, this print measures 22.9x35.6 cm and is housed in The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The focal point of the drawing is undoubtedly the elaborate tomb of Bishop William Overton, adorned with effigies of his two wives. Dating back to 1603, this alabaster masterpiece rests on the North side of the Chancell within Eccleshall Church. The attention to detail is exquisite, showcasing intricate carvings that depict both women with great precision. What makes this piece even more intriguing is that Bishop Overton himself wrote his own epitaph six years before his passing and had it placed within Eccleshall Church. This act speaks volumes about his character and legacy as a prominent figure during his time. Fernyhough's skillful rendering brings out every nuance of this historical treasure, allowing viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness an enduring testament to love and devotion. This image serves as a reminder that art has the power not only to capture moments but also preserve history for generations to come.
