# Talk:Martin Peerson

Can anyone provide an illustration of Martin Peerson, and a photograph of Peerson's final resting place in St Paul's Cathedral? Cheers, Jacklee 00:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
There is no extant memorial to Peerson in St Paul's Cathedral: see below. Cheers, Jacklee 17:22, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I made an inquiry with St Paul's Cathedral as to whether there was a memorial to Martin Peerson there that could be photographed. Unfortunately, the Librarian of St Paul's Cathedral Library has confirmed that there isn't. Cheers, Jacklee 23:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Mr Lee
Your enquiry has been forwarded to the library by the Cathedral press officer.
The Great Fire of 1666 and subsequent demolition effaced most evidence on the ground of pre-Fire burials: Peerson's is not among the few extant fragments of monuments. 
Yours sincerely

Dear Sirs/Mesdames,
I am one of the many volunteer editors of Wikipedia, and have been working on an article on the English composer, organist and virginalist Martin Peerson. From my researches, I have found out that Peerson was buried in St Faith's Chapel under St Paul's Cathedral in 16 January 1651. Is there a monument to Peerson in that chapel? If so, would it be possible to visit the chapel and to photograph the monument for the purpose of using the photograph to improve the Wikipedia article? I note from your website that filming and photography are generally not permitted in St Paul's Cathedral. 
I look forward to hearing from you on the matter.
Yours sincerely,
Jack Lee
