Description

The Brabant tomb, located approximately 3 metres south of the Church of St Michael, is a chest tomb dating from around 1683, dedicated to John Brabant, who was a vicar. It features rusticated sandstone ashlar sides and a moulded top. The tomb has a long, well-cut inscription that reads: 'Johannes Brabant, Vicarius/obiit 28 Juni Ao Dni 1683/nuda Sacerdotis docti bene/credere inertam/Verba docent Populum/vivere vita docet/Elizabeth his wife died the 4th/of August 1684/Blessed are the departed which die/in the Lord', as noted by Surtees. The inscription is now partly eroded.
