Description
The Simmonds Monument is a chest tomb located at the angle of the south aisle and chapel of the Church of St Peter and St Paul, dating from around 1843. It is constructed of ashlar stone and designed in the Neo-Classical style. The monument features a podium with a roll-moulded edge and a plinth. Fluted attached columns at the corners support an entablature adorned with raised-flower decoration on the frieze. Each side has a segmental pediment with scroll decoration in the tympana and acroteria featuring anthemia at the corners. The sides are pulvinated, each displaying an oval panel with a fluted edge and decorated spandrels. These panels bear commemorative inscriptions: the south side honors Clara, daughter of John and Hannah Simmonds, who died in 1843; the east side commemorates their sons, Frederick, who died in 1843, and Edward, who died in 1845; while the north and west sides remember other family members.
