Description

The tomb of Norman Shaw and his family is located in St John's Churchyard and dates from around 1913. It was designed by Ernest Newton and Laurence Turner. This chest tomb is made of limestone and features a rectangular plan in the style of 18th-century chest tombs, set on a stepped base. The long sides have inscribed panels that are flanked by pilasters adorned with carved swags and foliar drops. One end of the tomb displays a carved winged coat of arms, and it has a moulded stepped lid. Historically, Norman Shaw was a key figure in the Queen Anne architectural revival and constructed several local houses, including No. 6 Ellerdale Road, which is visible from the churchyard.
