Summary[edit]

Description
English: Monument in Waltham Abbey, Essex to Sir Edward Denny (1547-1600) of Bishop's Stortford, a soldier, privateer and adventurer in the reign of Elizabeth I, and his wife Margaret Edgcumbe, with 'weepers' depicting their 7 sons and 3 daughters. The symbolism shows that the boys with swords were over 21 when their father died, the girls with ruffs were married and the two children with linked arms were twins. The monument was sculpted in 1600 by Bartholomew Ayde and Isaac James of St Martin-in-the-Fields. Margaret survived her husband by 48 years and is buried at Bishop's Stortford. In the spandrels are figures of Fame and Time.
