The use of grieving female figures is typically restricted to eighteenth century war memorials in both study areas, with the exceptions of the First World War allegorical at Kingsbridge and upon the memorial triptych in Noss Mayo. The use of this decoration upon the Noss Mayo memorial can in part be seen to further the concern of the parish and especially church in legitimising its historic origins, having only been built in the 1870s.
