Description
The monument to the Adye family is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, 1 metre south-west of the porch of the parish church. It dates from 1731 and is made of limestone. This tomb is of exceptional quality and is designed in the Rococo style. It features a moulded plinth, a deeply projecting cyma-recta moulded slab, and gadrooned, scrolled, and fluted angle pilasters. The surface is elaborately carved in deep relief, showcasing two putti on the south face that flank an inscription cartouche with florid lettering in italic script. Additional putti can be found on the west end, while the east end displays skulls, an hourglass, a scythe, and a devil's head. The Adye family held the manor of Easton Grey in the early 18th century.
