Description
The tomb of the Hall family, dated 1812, is located in the churchyard of St Nicholas. It is made of Portland stone and features a chest tomb design with a simple form, including a moulded base and a reeded top. The inscriptions on the tomb are engraved, with some original paint still visible, particularly on the north and east faces. These inscriptions are arranged within engraved panels and consistently use Roman lettering, reflecting the style maintained over the 85 years during which they were created. The tomb is positioned on a raised base and was originally surrounded by railings, with holes for these railings still present in the base.
The inscription on the north face commemorates Mrs. Ann Hall, the wife of Ambrose Hall, noting her death on January 27, 1812, at the age of 77. The south face inscription indicates that the tomb was erected by Ambrose Hall, who passed away on December 31, 1815, also at the age of 77. The east face honors Humphrey Hall, who died on August 24, 1848, while the west face memorializes Anne Hall Hall, wife of the Reverend Ambrose William Hall, who died on April 17, 1867, at the age of 51, and the Reverend Ambrose William Hall himself, who died on April 2, 1897, at the age of 83.
