Description
The Baldwin monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 9 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St. James. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of sandstone. The tomb features a flat top with a moulded edge and lyre-shaped ends on both the east and west sides. The oval areas on these ends have a moulded surround, and the edges of the lyre ends are carved with a garland of leaves. There are paired raised panels on the north and south sides, each with a central draped swag and twined ribbons. The earliest decipherable date on the monument is 1811, and it was noted to be in poor condition during a survey conducted in October 1984.
