Description
The Plomer Monument, located in the churchyard of Great Amwell, is a memorial erected in 1728 to William Plomer. It is made of carved and moulded limestone. The monument features a moulded square base supporting a tall square pedestal with a projecting moulded capstone. Each side of the pedestal has a raised and fielded panel with inscriptions. At the top, there is a tall tapering panelled obelisk resting on arched and scrolled feet, which is crowned by a moulded cornice and a fluted urn. The monument is depicted in 18th and 19th century topographical drawings of the church from the southeast.
