The monument to the duke and his first and third wives is now (2004) in the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London, having been moved there in 1949 from the hospital of St Katherine in Regent's Park - the successor to St Katherine's by the Tower after its demolition in 1825 [Mervyn Blatch, A guide to London's churches (1978), p. 405].

[The survival of the monument was pointed out by Martin Reboul in September 2004, and further discussed by Adrian Channing.
