Description
The Herrick Family Tomb, located in the churchyard of St. Mary in the Elms, is a table tomb dating from around 1830. It features a stone sarcophagus adorned with carved angle volutes and plain pediments, resting on a stone plinth. Surrounding the tomb are iron railings topped with spear head finials and acorns at the corners. On the end closest to the church, the Herrick coat of arms is carved in stone, and beneath it on the plinth is a small, worn marble wreath of flowers. The tomb is situated to the southwest of the church tower and has group value with the church.
