Légende

St. Nicholas Church, Brighton, [Sussex], 1872. 'The old church of St. Nicholas was restored in 1853, as a memorial of the late Duke of Wellington, who used to attend this place of worship in his boyhood, when a pupil of the vicar. In the chantry is a Wellington monument, which is a cross 18 ft. high, inscribed with the names of the Duke's victories, and bearing a figure of St. George in a canopied niche at the top. In the churchyard here is buried Phoebe Hessell, a manly woman who served as a soldier and fought at Fontenoy, living afterwards to the age of 108; Mrs. Crouch, the actress, and Captain Tettersell, who helped Charles II. to escape from England after the battle of Worcester, are also interred here'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
