Description
In the South Nave a tablet with two Coldstream Guardsmen carved in relief. Marble wall panel carved in high relief with two figures of guardsmen holding rifles standing either side of a memorial tablet. In the centre, in the lower part, is the memorial inscription above which is carved a representation of a small gravestone with the names of the commemorated inscribed and surrounded by a wreath, a rocky landscape behind. Above is a badge embossed with a cross. There is another panel on the wall above this memorial referring to the Colours of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot guards; the colours have presumably been removed.
