Summary

Description
English: 1832 mural monument to Lady Anne Pole (nee Templer) (1758-1832), wife of Sir John de la Pole, 6th Baronet (1757-1799) signed: "P. Rouw sculp. London" (Peter Rouw (1771-1852)), west wall of south transept of St Michael's Church, Shute, Devon. Inscription: The mortal remains of Anne, widow of John William de la Pole, sixth baronet in descent, are consigned to the resting place of her kindred within these hallowed walls in the sure and certain hope of that perfect consummation and bliss both in body and soul which the Lord Jesus Christ hath prepared for them that love him. If purity of life can proceed from purity of heart alone she will be blessed in seeing God. If they who consider the poor and needy are blessed, the face of the Lord will not be turned away from her. The last days of her life were devoted to smoothing the pillow of mortal sickness for her beloved brother the Reverend John Templer. He died at Lindridge House in this county on Sunday the 5th day of February MDCCCXXXII aged 81 years and under the same roof on the ensuing Sabbath unable to endure her irreparable loss she followed him to the land of eternal rest in the 74th year of her age
