Nearly a Yorkshire Man

Richard Eve a Great benefactor of Masonic causes, was born in a little house in Bromsgrove Street, Kidderminster, son of John Eve, who had come down from Yorkshire to be foreman of the spinning department at one of the town’s many carpet factories.

In Brinton Park, Kidderminster, stands a remarkable memorial to Richard Eve, a man born in humble circumstances in the town, who went on to rub shoulders with the then Prince of Wales (later King Edward V11), the Duke of Connaught, and other great Freemasons at the turn of the 20th century.

The monument in the park is designed and decorated in the sort of overblown intricate detail much beloved by the Victorians.
Better detail large.

Richard Eve, born December 6 1831, died July 7 1900.
