Hammond Monument Approximately 1 Metre South Of South Aisle Of Church Of St Michael And Our Lady

The Hammond monument, located approximately 1 metre south of the south aisle of the Church of St. Michael and Our Lady, is a tomb chest from the early 18th century. It commemorates Elizabeth Hammond, who died in 1729. The monument is made of sandstone and features fielded panel sides with a rectangular lid that has a bevelled edge but no border. It displays elegant serif lettering, including decoratively stylised initial letters "H". There are three additional inscriptions: the first two match the style of the main inscription and commemorate Jonathan Hammond, the father of Elizabeth (who died in 1731), and Elizabeth, the wife of John Hammond (who died in 1751). The final inscription is for Susanah, the wife of Jonathan Hammond, who died in 1753.
