('Unknown', but somewhere in the region of 1825.) I saw this delightful Chantrey monument to the Duchess of York today in the belltower end of St. James's, Weybridge. The inscription is rather sad because, essentially, untrue. The sweet words supplied by the Duke of York are, put politely, an 'exaggeration' on his part. He was a decidedly unfaithful man to his longsuffering Prussian "consort". TMW
