Description
The Osborne monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 11 metres south of the nave of the Church of St. James in Tormarton. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of limestone. The tomb features a shaped top with a moulded edge and a moulded plinth. The ends are shaped with a garland of leaves along the edges. There are paired inscription panels on the north and south sides, with a central draped swag. The earliest decipherable date on the monument is for Mary Osborne, from 1820, along with other family members. This monument is one of a pair of Osborne monuments, with the other located about 2 metres to the east.
