German Pole (6 October 1626 – 28 March 1683) was an English politician and member of the notable Pole family of Radbourne, Derbyshire.
The Poles had longstanding ties to Radbourne, with their lineage tracing back to the 14th century.
Pole was known for his piety, loyalty to the monarchy, and dedication to his country.
He was interred at St. Andrew's Church in Radbourne, where a significant wall monument, attributed to the renowned sculptor Grinling Gibbons, commemorates him.
This monument features a large gadrooned sarcophagus flanked by urns and is topped with a segmental pediment adorned with putti.
