More about this scene
As part of the Temple Moore restoration of the church, the De Brus Cenotaph was reassembled to look as far as possible as it would have been in the days of the priory. The top had been used for many years as the church's high altar, and indeed the original base still resides in the chancel floor, just in front of the altar step. One end, shown here, had been lying in the priory grounds, but the other end has never been traced. Temple Moore placed the newly assembled cenotaph in the south- west corner, next to the old three-light east window, which was relocated from the sanctuary. The window contains glass from the priory, and in the late 20th century a selection of floor tiles from the priory was placed around the cenotaph, reuniting three significant elements of the priory.
