St Mary's Centre - Gamul Tomb

The Gamul Tomb has painted full-length effigies of Thomas Gamul (Recorder of Chester) and his wife Alice. Their three children who died in infancy are depicted carrying skulls on the side of the sarcophagus. Their surviving son, Francis, who lived in Gamul House in Lower Bridge Street, sits by his mother's knee meditating, an open bible in front of him.
