Description:The fan-vaulted roof of the Chantry Chapel of the Sacred Heart in Hawkesyard Priory Church can be seen through the wrought iron gates below the entrance arch. Josiah Spode IV (1823-1893) and his niece, companion and heir, Miss Helen Gulson (1835-1910) are interred in the Founders' Vault within. Spode died at his leased Brighton house and was buried at Stone Convent but his body was transferred in 1896 whilst the chapel was constructed. They had lived in the adjacent Spode House.
