Cholera Monument, In The Churchyard 15 Metres South Of The Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Cholera Monument, located in the churchyard 15 metres south of the Church of the Holy Trinity, is a memorial dating from the early to mid-19th century. Constructed from freestone and ashlar, it features a square enclosure marked by dressed stones. On the east side, there is a plain pointed stone, 0.5 metres high, inscribed with the words: "BOUNDARY OF CHOLERA BURIAL GROUND." On the west side, a pediment is topped with an ashlar insertion in the wall, which supports a high relief urn above a tablet. The tablet bears the following inscription: "IN MEMORY OF 23 MEN, 23 WOMEN AND 26 CHILDREN INTERRED WITHIN THIS ENCLOSURE WHO FELL VICTIM TO THAT DREADFUL SCOURGE, ASIATIC CHOLERA, WITH WHICH IT PLEASED THE ALMIGHTY TO VISIT THIS PARISH FROM THE 28TH SEPTEMBER TO THE 10TH NOVEMBER 1832. WHEN, UNDER THE DIRECTING ARM OF A BOUNTIFUL PROVIDENCE, BY THE SKILL AND ATTENTION OF THE MEDICAL MEN, AND BY THE CHARITABLE DONATIONS OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBOURHOOD, IT CEASED. 'AND HE STOOD BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD AND THE PLAGUE WAS STAYED.' RESTORED, 1966."
