Description
The Browning monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about one metre south of the nave of the Church of Holy Trinity. It dates from the late 18th century and is made of limestone. The tomb features a slightly hipped top with a moulded edge and a moulded base. It has plain quarter balusters and includes a pair of plain inscription panels on the north side. On the south side, there are a pair of shaped inscription panels that display an urn and a putto in the central spandrel, with cornucopiae on the sides and foliate edges to the panels. This monument commemorates William Browning, who died in 1783, along with other members of the family.
