===Westminster Abbey=== Peter Scheemakers created 16 works β monuments, figures, busts and tombs β for Westminster Abbey alone, of which 15 are still in situ: [[File:Monument to John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, Westminster Abbey 01.jpg|thumb|Monument to John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, Westminster Abbey]] * Monument to [[William Shakespeare]] (1740), Peter Scheemakers' most admired work.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commemorations/commemorations/william-shakespeare#i13445 | title=William Shakespeare }}</ref> However, as this was designed by [[William Kent]], the admiration for design and execution should rightly be shared. * Monument to [[John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby]] d.Feb 1721. Based on Plumier's design which he started, but completed by Peter Scheemakers and Laurent Delvaux after Plumier's unexpected death.
