Description
The pair of Huxtable monuments are located in the churchyard immediately north of the chancel of St Bartholomew's Church. These are two table-tombs on a common base, with the earliest inscription dating from 1883. They are made of stone, with the main tomb featuring a double ridged top and quatrefoiled sides. The moulded cornice is decorated with ballflower, and the entire monument is topped with a vertical cross finial. The subsidiary tomb has a ridged top with a horizontal cross set across it. The inscriptions commemorate Archdeacon Huxtable and his first and second wives. Archdeacon Huxtable played a significant role in financing the construction of the church, making this tomb important in an historical context.
