Description
The Thomas monument is a headstone located in the churchyard about 40 metres north of the north aisle of the Church of St Nivet in Lanivet. It dates from the 18th century and is made of slate. The headstone features a double segmental top with two carved cherub's heads with wings. There is an incised border around the inscription panel. At the base, there is a carved figure of a skeleton with a crowned head and two arms; one arm holds an hourglass with the motto "tempus currat," while the other arm holds a dart with the motto "mors venit." The inscription includes good lettering and a valedictory quatrain dedicated to two sisters, Elizabeth Thomas, aged 2, and Joan Thomas, aged 10, who both died in February and March of 1782.
