The Monument of Sir Andrew Barkley Walker, All Saints Childwall.
Sir Andrew Barkley Walker was the famous brewer who founded Walkers Brewery but he was also a patron of the arts in Liverpool - so much that he gave us the Walker Art Gallery. His monument struck me as odd for its highly Catholic looking mosaic of angels, yet this is a CoE church... odd eh?
Also the grave of Thomas Moss Tate - Joseph Williamsons (The Mole) brother-in-law and a very influential businessman, a founder of the Atheneum, Botanic Garden and Liverpool Academy of Art (his father was the founder but he exhibited regularly). Strange that he's the only one of his family in the huge vault.
