Hussey Packe is depicted kneeling before a desk on the front of which is carved his relief bust.
In the background of the monument is an angel whose right hand is held high in blessing while
the left holds a model of the church, which, as the inscription tells us, he restored. There
is an oil-lamp in the bottom right hand corner while the Packe arms are behind the kneeling
figure.
