St. John the Evangelist

Coulsdon Parish Church - Old Coulsdon, Surrey

You are in the Church Lounge, formerly the North Aisle of the old church. Turn left for the exit to the old church nave or right for the memorials in the north wall.

The Rowed Memorial depicts "Wisdom casting the world behind her". This unusual plaque is by Epiphanius Evesham and dates from 1641. It commemorates Grace Rowed who died in the 1630s. Very little is known about her or her family. In 1912 the memorial was described as being "High up on the south wall of the south aisle" in a work to be reached online via the "Contacts" page.
