Lewis, Mitchell And A Third Monument Approximately 20 Metres North Of Church Of All Saints

This listing describes a group of three headstones located approximately 20 meters north of the Church of All Saints in Wyke Regis, Weymouth. The headstones date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are made of Portland stone.

The first headstone is dedicated to William Lewis, who died on 21 April 1822. It features a shaped head with scrolls in a squared outline, above a sunk panel with a segmental head carved in low relief depicting two sailing ships. The inscription notes that William Lewis was killed by a shot from the Pigmy schooner and that he was 22 years old at the time of his death. This stone is leaning badly.

The second headstone, located approximately 2 meters west of the first, commemorates Mitchell, who died on 17 (the year is not specified). It has a segmental curved top flanked by small rosette scrolls, with a mason's square and dividers carved in relief at the center. The inscriptions on this stone are now much worn.

The third headstone is situated immediately north of the second. It features a segmental top flanked by square haunches, with bold relief carvings of palm fronds and a mason's square alongside a sextant or similar instrument. The inscription on this stone is fine but worn, with no name or date legible.
