Description
Two headstones from the early 18th century are located approximately 1.5 meters south of the south aisle door to the Church of St Andrew in Weymouth. Both monuments are made of Portland stone. The headstone closest to the door commemorates Mary, the wife of John Clapcott. It is unusually thick, featuring a square head and a chamfered back, and is partly buried, with part of it visible in the gutter next to the church. The inscription panel is set within a scalloped arch supported by classical capitals, and it includes a worn and naive carved head. The second memorial is not legible but is likely from the early to mid-18th century. It is also a thick slab, with a sunk panel and a shaped top that features a central scroll head.
