Beneath the weathered stone of the Monument to Samuel Rogers and Family, a story unfolds. This monument, tucked away in the northeast corner of St. Mary’s Churchyard, whispers tales of a remarkable family. The monument marks the final resting place of Samuel Rogers, the celebrated poet known for his work “The Pleasures of Memory”. He rests alongside his brother, Henry Rogers, and his sister, Sarah Rogers. The inscription details their lives, a poignant reminder of their presence. Henry, of Highbury Terrace, passed away in 1832. Sarah, of Regent’s Park, followed in 1855. Samuel, born in Newington Green in 1763, died the same year as his sister, in St. James’ Place, Westminster. The west facade of the monument bears a simpler inscription, listing just their names and years of death. The Monument to Samuel Rogers and Family stands as a silent testament to their lives and legacies. It offers a glimpse into the past, connecting us to the poet and his family.
