Summary edit

Description
English: Monument to Richard Croshawe, All Saint's Church (Derby Cathedral). Information taken from www.hrionline.ac.uk. Per John Stow (A Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster, Borough of Southwark,)[1]: Richard Croshawe, Goldsmith; an Account of his Benefactions, the Inscription upon his Monument in the Church of All Saints, Derby, will declare: From the Visitation Book of Derbyshire, by Sir William Dugdale, Knight, viz. Upon a large Monument, erected for Richard Croshawe, a Wealthy Goldsmith in London: Who was a Smith's Son at Marketon juxta Derbie.
"To the Glory of God. RICHARD CROSHAWE, of London, Esquire, sometime Master of the Right Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, and Deputy of Broadstreet Ward: A Man pious and liberal to the Poor in the great Plague, 1625. Neglecting his own Safety, abode in the City, to provide for their Relief. Did many Pious and Charitable Acts in his Lifetime: And by his Will, left above 4000£. to the Maintenance of Lectures, Relief of Poor, and other Pious Uses." "Since his Death, his Executors have added out of his Estate 900£. He dwelt, and lyeth buried in his Parish of St. Bartholomew, by the Exchange; where he lived Thirty One Years: And being Seventy Years Old, departed this Life the 2d of June, 1631. Having done much Good to this Town, and this his Native Country, his Executors have erected his Monument in this Place, to encourage others of great Estate to imitate his Piety and Charity, 1636."
Two shields of arms are shown above, that on the dexter the arms of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The shield at sinister dexter displays Argent, on a chevron engrailed gules between three Cornish choughs as many mullets of the first a crescent for difference (Glover, Stephen, History and Gazetteer of the County of Derby, Derby, 1833, p.493). Perhaps the birds are in fact "crows", as canting arms for "Crow-shawe" ?
