Description
This group of five tombs, dating from 1776 to 1810, is located immediately to the east of the south aisle of the chancel of All Saints Church in Shotesham. The tombs are made of stone and gault brick. Each tomb features a body-stone set on about three courses of gault brick, with a headstone and a shorter footstone at the grave's foot. The headstones and footstones commemorate Benjamin Gooch (1776) and Elizabeth Gooch (1784), Shute D'Urban (1776) and Dorothea D'Urban (1785), John D'Urban M.D. (1782), George Parker (1792), and Elizabeth D'Urban (1810). Four of the headstones have volutes supporting pediments that enclose urns flanked by cherubs, while George Parker's headstone features a circular medallion depicting a draped female figure on one knee, with an outstretched arm resting on an anchor. Benjamin Gooch was a notable surgeon known for his role in establishing the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
