In the centre Nicholas Monk (c.1610-61), bishop of Hereford and father of Elizabeth Rawlinson. Nicholas Monk was affiliated with the royalist cause and at the Restoration Charles II appointed him provost of Eton (without even the pretence of an election) at the Restoration, swiftly followed by his appointment as bishop of Hereford. He died shortly after his appointment, having never visited his diocese. The antiquary Christopher Rawlinson published an edition of King Alfred's translation of Boethius's 'The Consolation of Philosophy' in 1698, and raised a vast monument over Nicholas Monk's grave in Westminster Abbey in 1723.
