Description

A very large monument of polished grey granite, prominently situated on the Upper Circle. Square in plan, the monument comprises an arca, or tapering chest, placed beneath a heavy moulded cover, supported at each corner by three Doric colonnettes. An inscription commemorates Sampson Copestake (d.1874), his wife Anne (d.1863), and their son Sampson (d.1917). The edge of the cover is enriched with incised Greek key ornament. The arca rests on a tall and richly moulded base, with a course of rock-faced rustication just above ground level.
