Created by Isaac Cruikshank. Published by S. W. Fores. A fracas in Hendon churchyard between two parsons during a burial. The coffin lies by the side of the grave; one of the combatants steps on it and smites his antagonist with his book. A gravedigger looks on delightedly. A crowd of mourners fills the right part of the design; one, a woman, has fallen into the open grave in the foreground. An undertaker's man pushes back the crowd of mourners with a pole (draped in black), saying, "Stand back - Stand back A Ring a Ring"; a grave-digger, raising his spade, says, "keep back". A man, fashionably dressed, stands behind one of the combatants, saying, "10 Guineas my Man does him"; a stout bishop wearing mitre, lawn sleeves, and apron, standing (left) behind the other, answers "done d--mme". The lid of the coffin is partly raised, showing a young woman's face in a shroud; a man, absorbed in the combat, pours liquid on the face. The mourners cry: "Good Lord Deliver us \ we beseech thee to hear us \ have mercy on us \ help us \ against our enemies \ from all dangers". On the extreme left a woman lies on the ground, her breast uncovered, her head supported by a man who gives her something to drink, saying, "by Job this is the most Silent fit she ever had, it was her love for her spiritual Instructor". Another man kneels beside her, saying, "If this wont do there is no thing can". In the foreground (left) is a tombstone: 'Here lies Broughton' [the pugilist, actually buried in Lambeth]. A skull says, "I thought this had been the Resurrection"; against it lies the wig of one of the parsons. Beneath the title is etched: 'A Sketch for an Altar Piece for the Church at Hendon'. Hand-coloured etching. Description from the British Museum.
