This monument, made by Nicholas Stone the Elder in ca. 1615-30 was originally covered by an elaborate canopy supported by eight columns, which was removed in 1756. The monument was erected after the death of Sir Moyle Finch in 1614, and during the lifetime of his widow, who was made Viscountess Maidstone in 1623 and then Countess of Winchilsea in 1628.

Nicholas Stone (born about 1587, died 1647) was the most important English sculptor of the first half of the 17th century. He trained in The Netherlands, in the workshop of Hendrik de Keyser (1565-1621) in Amsterdam, from about 1607. He married de Keyser's daughter and returned to London in 1613. Although Stone was also active as an architect (he was appointed Master Mason and Architect at Windsor Castle, Berkshire, in 1626), he is best remembered for the fine marble and alabaster tombs he erected during the 1620s and 1630s. He appears to have stopped work with the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642.
