5 Table Tombs 5-10 Metres East And South East Of South Porch (Clift, Hearn, Crode, Henvill, Defaced)

There are five table tombs located 5 to 10 metres east and south-east of the south porch at Tower Hill in Netherbury. These tombs are made of stone and feature moulded cornices, unless otherwise noted.

1) The first tomb commemorates William Clift, who died in 1755 at the age of 50, and his wife, who died in 1779. It has fielded-panel pilaster corners with heads and skull-and-crossbones in the top panels.

2) The second tomb is made of white limestone and marks the resting place of Daniel Hearn of Kershay, a gentleman who died in 1715 at the age of 40. It features a curtained, wavy centre panel with a cherub at the top, and rosettes with sunflower garlands in the side panels. Carved coats of arms in cartouches depict three swans and a chevron on the west face, and a skull-and-crossbones on the east face.

3) The third tomb is dedicated to Mary, the wife of Thomas Crode, who died on November 17, 1772, at the age of 60. She was the surviving daughter of John Hearn of Mangerton, who died in 1729 at the age of 52. This tomb has later inscriptions added for Thomas Crode, who died in 1789, and Catherine Hull, who died in 1814. It features a coat of arms on the west face and a skull-and-crossbones on the east face, along with further inscriptions.

4) The fourth tomb is in memory of John, the son of Richard Henvill, who died in 1702. The inscription is deteriorating. It has bolection-moulded panels with rounded ends, and a coat of arms on the east end, topped with a hipped block.

5) The fifth tomb has a much defaced top stone and main side panels, characterized by a carved figure in relief on the side panels, depicting one male and one female figure.

These tombs are significant examples of funerary art and memorialization from the 17th and 18th centuries in the region.
