On the south side is an life-size recumbent figure erected by the John Cotton as a memorial to their ancestor. It is of Italian statuary marble with pedestal and background of limestone. The church also contains several beautiful memorial windows. The statue of John Winthrop, which stood for many years in Scollay Square, was placed in the yard of the First Church in 1905. Rev. William Emerson, father of Ralph Waldo Emerson, was pastor of this church, 1799-1811. |
