Légende

Memorial of Bishop Wilberforce, 1874. 'A memorial cross has been erected at Evershed's Rough, near Dorking, on the spot where the late Bishop of Winchester, the accomplished Dr. Samuel Wilberforce, was killed by a fall from his horse, while riding with Earl Granville. The cross is a monolith of granite, 10 ft. high, upon a sunk mass of concrete 5 ft. deep and 10 ft. square. The inscription is the date of the Bishop's death, with no ornament but a bishop's pastoral staff across the initial letters of the name, and a floreated cross above. The sculptor is Mr. Gilliam, of Dorking. The cost of this monument has been defrayed by the late Bishop's family'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
