Description
The tomb of Gillam Scott, located in St John's Churchyard, dates from around 1735 and is made of stone. It features a headstone with an architraved segmental-arched top. One side is intricately carved with three cherub heads and rosettes, while the other side displays a skull and crossbones topped by a winged hour-glass. The inscription on the tomb has weathered over time, appearing in vertical strips. Historically, Gillam Scott was the son of a mason and citizen of London, and he died at a young age.
