Simon, as Jane says, the Brentford Dock website is excellent.There's plenty of info on there re this subject ,what I think you're looking for is a monument to John Middleton & his wife which was attributed to Nicholas Stone dated around 1624.Quote from said site:It is known that this monument was still in the church in March 1974 since the Museum of London was quoted £914 from Carter Contracting for removing it (the Museum records don't record its opinion of this quote but presumably it was thought too expensive to proceed with).Further enquiries and no answersBridget Cherry in The Buildings of England claims that these two memorials are `in store'. A phone call to Ms Cherry elicited the information that the source for this was a transcript of the monuments in St Lawrence's made by members of the West Middlesex Family History Society in 1980. This transcript itemises monuments from the church `which have been removed to safe custody by the National Monuments Record.' The National Monuments Record can find no record of this and, points out that it is not NMR policy to store artefacts. The West Middlesex Family History Society can throw no further light on the source of this information.In 2002 Carolyn Hammond and Gillian Clegg carried out further research in an attempt to discover what happened to these monuments. We questioned long-standing Brentford residents; consulted the parish records for St Lawrence and for St Paul's (with which St Lawrence merged), and the records of the Museum of London. We contacted the widow of the last vicar of St Lawrence; the St Lawrence Brentford Trust; Gunnersbury Park Museum; the Council for the Care of Churches; the Redundant Churches Department of the Church of England; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Courtauld Gallery; the Conservation Cases Recorder of Church Monuments. Unfortunately, none of these individuals or organisations were able to help
