Biographical Details
They sign the large and important monument at Kirtlington erected to the Dashwood family in 1724. This impressive architectural work has a broken pediment with a fluted urn in the centre, and two mourning cherubs standing at the base of the inscription-tablet. It is an extremely advanced and elaborate production for provincial (indeed, almost village) masons.
