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. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of limestone. The tomb features a flat top with a moulded edge and a moulded base, with shaped ends on the east and west sides adorned with a garland of leaves and inscriptions. On the south side, there are paired inscription panels with a narrow central carved panel, while the north side has paired oval panels flanked by draped curtains, leaves, and a central phoenix. This monument is dedicated to Ann Osborne, who died in 1808, along with other family members. It is one of a pair of Osborne monuments, with the other located about 2 metres to the west.
