Description
The Hooker Memorial, located immediately west of the north transept of the Church of All Saints, is a Grade II listed memorial likely dating from the 1860s. Designed in the Early English style and made of Portland stone, it takes the form of a large, coped, cruciform chest. The top features a foliated cross carved in relief, and the oversailing lid is adorned with a band of stiff-leaf foliage below it. The sides of the chest are decorated with blind trefoil-headed arcading supported by shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. Inscriptions on the memorial, the earliest of which is dated 1830, commemorate members of the Hooker family. This memorial is noted for its unusual and ambitious Gothic Revival design, situated in an outstanding churchyard.
