Description
The Roker Monument is a chest tomb located approximately 2 metres south of the south-west corner of the south transept of the Church of St Peter and St Paul. It dates from around 1816 and is built in ashlar stone, showcasing a Neo-Classical style. The monument features a roll-moulded plinth on a stone base, with recessed corners that have fluted balusters, each with swept plinths and capitals. The lid of the tomb has a triple roll-moulded edge. Each side of the tomb includes fluted-edged oval panels and fan-decorated spandrels. The south panel bears a faded commemorative inscription for Jane, daughter of John and Mary Roker, who died in 1816, along with another daughter, Elizabeth, who died in 1829. The inscription is faded, and the lid is cracked and broken into several pieces.
