Description
The railed monument to the Dick family and the adjacent railed chest tomb are located about 100 metres south-west of the Church of St. Laurence. The monument, which dates from 1835 onwards, is made of stone and features iron railings. It consists of an obelisk with a moulded base on a tall pedestal that has a double stepped moulded base. Originally, the entire structure stood about 8 feet high, but the obelisk is now dismantled and lying within the railed area. The railings are barbed with spear heads and include baluster and finial principals. The chest tomb, located to the north and dating from the late 18th century, has an illegible inscription. It features a moulded top slab and fielded side panels, with chamfered corners on the end panels. The railings of the chest tomb also have spearheaded designs with orb finial principals.
