Summary edit

Description
English: Detail from ledger stone in Canterbury Cathedral of Anne Tenison (d.1750), widow of Edward Tenison (1673–1735), Bishop of Ossory in Ireland and Prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral. She was born as Anne Searle (or Sayer) and was a niece of her husband's cousin, namely Thomas Tenison (1636-1715), Archbishop of Canterbury. The medallion is 23 inches in diameter and is cut in relief on a blue marble ledger stone, 80inch x 39inch situated on the north side of the Cloisters. The escutcheon is lozenge-shaped, as borne by a female, and shows the arms of Tenison (Gules, three leopard's faces or jessant-de-lys azure over all a bend engrailed argent (Burke's General Armory 1884)) impaling Searle or Sayer (A fess battled-counter-embattled between three birds). The jessant-de-lys charge has been misinterpreted by the stone mason as leopard's heads ducally crowned, with forked beards. The inscription is as follows:
  • "Here lyes the body of Anne Tenison widow of Dr Edward Tenison late Bishop of Ossory in Ireland formerly Prebendary of this Church. She died the 8 Day of April 1750 in the 75th year of her Age".
