It is part of a Knox design for a memorial to J M Nicholson. There were two pieces the other had gold leaf on part t of the raised section . Both were given to the Manx Museum by Tim Quayle along with other items from the family monumental mason business in the hopes they would set up such a yard in the folklife gallery. - Peter Kelly Report this
