Description
The Clarke monument, located about 12 yards south of the south transept of the Church of St Mary, is a chest tomb and sarcophagus dating from 1804 and 1810. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a moulded base and cornice. The monument has wide corner balusters adorned with paterae, and each end panel displays a raised urn. Atop the tomb is a low hipped capping that supports a small sarcophagus, which also has a hipped capping. The feet of the monument are scrolled with a reversed batter on the side and end panels.
