Description

This description covers a group of two chest tombs, known as the Woodroffe and Crisp memorials, located approximately 2 to 4 metres north of the north aisle of the Church of St Nicholas. The tombs date from the mid-18th century and early 19th century and are made of limestone.

The chest tomb on the east side features a moulded plinth and cornice, along with wide balusters. It commemorates Nicholas Crisp, who died in 1705, his wife Anne, who died in 1731, and their daughters, who died in 1731 and 1760. The chest tomb on the west side also has a moulded plinth and cornice, with raised corner pilasters flanking fielded side panels and recessed end panels. This tomb is surrounded by wrought-iron railings topped with flaming urns and commemorates Mary and Anne Woodroffe, who died in 1825, along with others.
