Chichester Cathedral
| Memorial to Percy Joseph Hiscock who was a contemporary of Eric who died in 1900 at the age of 21. Eric was a friend of Osmund Daughty the assistant organist and, as recorded on the memorial, Percy was both in the choir and a bellringer at the cathedral. Eric’s brother Evan maintained an inventory of Eric Gill’s inscriptions and stated that this was Eric’s second inscription and a pencilled note ‘A.E.R.G. 1901, before attending LCC & before E.J.’s teaching. |

| Memorial to Henry Holding Moore, sacristan of the Cathedral and Eric’s father in law, who died in 1911. It can be seen that the lettering is now much finer and of the quality we associate with Gill |
