BIshop Fox's Chantry Chapel

Richard Fox was Bishop of Winchester from 1501 to 1528. He was Secretary and Keeper of the Seal to Kings Henry VII and Henry VIII, but his striking tomb shows him as a decaying and cadaverous corpse designed to remind passers-by of the transient nature of life. The tomb is located in the south presbytery aisle and is shown at left in this photo.
