Description
The Tovey monument is a chest tomb located approximately 0.25 meters from the south wall of the nave of the Church of St Giles in Goodrich. It dates from the early 18th century and is made of ashlar stone. The monument features a moulded plinth and capping, with a semi-circular shaped inscription panel that includes a lower swag and is flanked by drapery drops on the long sides. The east end panel displays an armorial cartouche, while the west end panel has two round blank arches. This monument commemorates Thomas Tovey, who died in 1708, although the inscription is largely illegible.
