Description
There are four Pratt memorials located about 5 metres south-east of the chancel of the Church of St Cassian. These chest tombs, dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, are made of sandstone ashlar and are arranged side by side.
The first tomb features a moulded plinth and cornice with a flat top and corner balusters. The inscription on the south side is illegible. The second tomb has a pedestal with a moulded plinth and cornice, topped with an urn finial. The inscription on the west face reads: "In memory of James Pratt of Bellington son of Thomas and Ann Pratt of Dunclent who departed this life August 10th 1797 Aged 72 years. Also of Ann his wife eldest daughter of James Newnham of Winterfold Esq who departed this life February 16th 1799 Aged 75 years."
The third tomb mirrors the first, with two square inscription panels on the south side. The left-hand panel states: "Sacred to the memory of Thomas Pratt gent of Dunclent who departed this [life] April 30th 1759 Aged 61 years."
