Description
There are 62 gravestones located to the north and north-east of the church at Crowland Abbey, dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. These gravestones are made of limestone ashlar.
Among them is a row of 13 gravestones to the north-west, which includes a mid-18th century gravestone for William Ashby, featuring foliage and an angel. To the right is an illegible 17th century gravestone, with a scrolled 18th century gravestone beyond it. On the left, there is a late 18th century gravestone for Anne Cherrington, alongside one for Will Whitsed, who died in 1794, adorned with an urn and cherubs.
To the east, there are three 18th century gravestones with winged cherubs, and further east is a red sandstone gravestone featuring a winged cherub. There is also a gravestone for William Brown, who died in 1843, decorated with foliate designs and a cherub, followed by another gravestone likely from the late 18th century, featuring a be-ribboned disc surmounted by an obelisk flanked by urns.
A mid-18th century gravestone to the right has a segmental pediment, Ionic columns, and cherubs. Two 18th century gravestones to the east display winged cherubs' heads and scrolls. Beyond these is a late 18th century gravestone with cherubs and a crown in a decorative draped surround. Further east, there is a gravestone for Christopher Hall, who died in 1686, next to an illegible 17th century gravestone.
Another gravestone with a pediment, flanked by scrolls, is for Robert Worell, who died in 1685. To the left is a gravestone for William Beckwith, who died in 1777, featuring two busts and a pair of clasped hands. Beyond the footpath to the east, gravestones include one for John Baldwin, who died in 1752, with a scrolled inscription plaque flanked by cherubs' heads and a segmental head. There are three early 19th century gravestones for the Baldwin family to the left. Further east is a gravestone inscribed to John Cattcan, who died in 1755, featuring sunrays radiating from a cherub's head and skulls. Two 18th century gravestones to the left also display winged cherubs.
