Description
The Bennett monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 28 metres northwest of the west porch of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Tormarton. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of sandstone. The tomb features a shaped top with a moulded edge and a moulded plinth. It is recessed on the east and west sides, with raised shaped panels. The north side has a plain oval cartouche, while the south side is similar and adorned with draped swags and verses. This monument commemorates Ruth Bennett, who died in 1832, along with other family members. It is part of a group of three Bennett monuments, with the second located 3 metres to the southeast and the third 2 metres due south.
