Monument to the late Rev. D. Butler, in Harrow Church, 1854. Memorial plaque of George Butler, Headmaster of Harrow School and Dean of Peterborough, in St Mary's Church, Harrow on the Hill, London. 'Monument - executed in marble, by Mr. Richard Westmacott...within a moulded recess of Caen stone...On either side of the tablet bearing the inscription is a small statue. One represents a female reading an unfolded MS [manuscript], and having at her feet the scrinium, filled with rolls of MSS., and who may be considered to impersonate Classical Literature. The other...female figure, is represented as in deep thought, and regarding a tablet supported by the left hand, while in the other she holds a pair of compasses. She may be held to designate Mathematical Science. The upper part of the Monument exhibits a medallion portrait of Dr. Butler resting against an open Bible'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
