Thomas Warr Attwood Tomb In Church Of All Saints Churchyard

The tomb of Thomas Warr Attwood, who died in 1775, is located in the Church of All Saints Churchyard in Weston. Designed by Thomas Baldwin, this chest tomb is made of Bath stone and is positioned to the south-east of the chancel. It features a fluted frieze adorned with bucrania and paterae with husks on the swept-in sides. Atop the tomb is a tall urn set on an upswept base. The monument is enclosed by exceptionally fine wrought iron railings that display a spider's-web motif at the front and ends. This tomb is noted for its exceptional architectural and historic interest. Attwood was a successful plumber and glazier who served as the architect to the Corporation and was accidentally killed while surveying the old market. The design of the tomb was created by his clerk, Thomas Baldwin, who became a prominent architect in late 18th century Bath. The tomb is marked as No 301 on the churchyard plan.
