Nikolas Pevsner (in the introduciton to Pevsner and Sherwood, Oxfordshire, 37) notes that this style of funerary monument with 'kneeling figures, which is so frequent all over the country, is rare in Oxford': he mentions one other example at St John's from 1603 and a second from Jesus in 1630. Assembling photographs of these examples, and comparing them with the more common frontal figures noted in the commentary on Henry Savile's monument, might reveal interesting common features.
