Description
The tomb of Rear-Admiral Philip Affleck, dating from around 1799, is located in the Church of All Saints Churchyard in Weston. This elaborate neo-classical memorial is made of Bath stone and is positioned to the north of the chancel. It features an oval base with a rectangular chest that has paired engaged acanthus capitals at the projecting ends. The main field displays fine military trophies in relief, surrounding an inscription panel. The rear of the tomb is adorned with carved drapery, similar to the nearby Smith tomb. Although it has lost its upper urn, this tomb still retains fine spearheaded railings that resemble those of the Attwood monument. It is noted as a very good example of a neo-classical churchyard memorial. Rear-Admiral Affleck (1726-1799) was Admiral of the White and served as a Lord of the Admiralty in the 1790s, having previously served under Rodney in the West Indies in 1780.
