| Abstract: | Familial groupings of monuments are not uncommon within our parish churches and are but one way of tracing the changing fortunes and tastes of individual families. The group of three monuments to members of the Gunter/Gounter family at Racton, West Sussex, is no exception. As this group has not previously been considered as such, this paper sets out to show the ways in which, especially regarding the earliest (of c. 1546), these monuments represent the social aspirations of a newly established family, as well as the inevitable issues of conspicuous consumption. The paper also makes a case for the last monument, from the mid-1730s, being the product of the Cheere workshop, and for Louis Francois Roubiliac being the sculptor responsible for the portrait bust. | |||||||||
