Pair of Cheesman headstones approximately 2.5 metres north of the organ loft of the Church of St Mary

This is a pair of adjacent Cheesman headstones located about 2.5 metres north of the organ loft of the Church of St Mary. They are dated 1751 and 1759 and commemorate members of the Cheesman family. Made of sandstone, both headstones are upright slabs with curvilinear-shaped double heads, featuring inscriptions in Roman serif upper and lower case lettering. The left headstone is approximately 500 millimetres high and has a recessed front panel. Its heads are crudely carved, with a skull and crossbones on the left and crossbones only on the right. The left headstone marks the death of 4-year-old Henry Cheesman in 1751. The right headstone stands about 1.1 metres high and has a flat face; it records the deaths of Thomas Cheesman in 1759 and his wife Elia in 1774.
