Any Londoner could request to be buried in Paul\u2019s Churchyard, chiefly in the northeast corner of the Churchyard. During the early modern period, Londoners sometimes complained about the gravediggers leaving newly dug graves open when night fell, creating a hazard for Londoners cutting across the Churchyard in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Medieval St Paul&#8217;s Cathedal contained many\u00a0 statues and shrines to the saints, as well as side altars and the central high altar, all of which were destroyed in the iconoclastic phase of the English Reformation.

John Donne was buried inside the Cathedral when he died in 1631, in the south aisle of the Choir adjacent to the monument to John Colet, Dean of St Paul\u2019s from 1505 to 1519. Some folks were buried in the Cathedral\u2019s floor, scattered through the Nave and into the Choir. Others were buried in tombs constructed along the sides and aisles of the Nave and Choir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the gravesites inside the Cathedral were marked by stone slabs in the floor, usually with an inscription or a monumental brass.

Hollar depicted a number of the free-standing tombs and funeral monuments as well as other burial or memorial sites that were located against the outer walls of the Cathedral. With the assistance of Hannah Faux and Juan Jose Fuldain of the Museum of London Archaeology, John Schofield has developed three-dimensional models of some of these monuments, which are included in our Visual Model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">On this page of the website we have brought together copies of Hollar&#8217;s engravings of some of these monuments, together with images of Schofield&#8217;s models and (when available) renderings of the Visual Model to suggest the appearance of these monuments in their original setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The first of these is the Monument of John Colet, Dean of St Paul&#8217;s from 1505 to 1519.

Model created by Grey Isley.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A Look into the Future<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">John Donne, before his death on 31 March 1631, posed in his winding sheet for a life drawing which became the basis for the monument to him in St Paul&#8217;s, erected just west of the monument to John Colet. Above the statue is a Latin epigraph, which he probably composed (see text below).  Above the epigraph is Donne&#8217;s seal as Dean of the Cathedral, showing on the left the crossed swords of St  Paul, with the letter &#8220;D&#8221; for Decanus, and on the right a heraldic wolf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The presence of the wolf derives from the fact that Donne believed that he was related through his father to the&nbsp;Dwn&nbsp;family of Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire. Donne used the arms of that family on his earliest portrait, painted in 1591, as well as on one of his seals,  and, again, here, on his monument. The arms of the Dwn family include the figure of a wolf rearing up, as well as a crest of snakes bound in a sheaf (see Donne&#8217;s poem &#8220;A Sheaf of Snakes,&#8221; written for George Herbert for Donne&#8217;s use of that element in his supposed family coat of arms). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The statue in St Paul&#8217;s was said by Izaac Walton, Donne&#8217;s first biographer, to show Donne at the moment of his resurrection, at the moment, anticipated in Job 19 vs. 27, in which his body is rising but his eyes have not yet opened to behold his savior. The statue itself was one of the few monuments in St Paul&#8217;s to survive the Great Fire; it was stored in the basement of the Wren building until, in the latter part of the 19th century,  it was reinstalled in a reconstruction of the original niche for it shown in Hollar&#8217;s engraving of the monument (see image on the left, below), except that, in the reconstruction,  the heraldic wolf has been turned into a rearing horse and the text of the epigraph has been rearranged from its original urn-shape configuration into a rectangular box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
