Eight Monuments In The Churchyard Between 17 And 26 Metres South Of Chancel Of Church Of St James

There are eight monuments located in the churchyard between 17 and 26 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St James. This group consists of two chest tombs and six pedestal tombs, dating from the late 18th century and early 19th century. Most of the monuments are made of limestone, except for one large pedestal tomb made of lias stone.

The tall lias pedestal tomb features plain recessed panels and bears an inscription for Eleanor Hunter, who died in 1852. Among the five pedestal tombs, the eastern one commemorates Henry Thornbrough, who died in 1801, and the northern one is for John Collett, who died in 1833; the inscriptions on the others are illegible. These pedestal tombs have fielded panels, with either plain or fluted friezes and weathered tops, one of which includes gadrooned decoration.

There is also an early 19th-century chest tomb among the pedestal tombs, which has plain panels, floral drops, and a fluted frieze. Another chest tomb, located near the lias monument, features fielded panels, fielded pilasters, and quarter balusters leading to a moulded frieze, with an inscription for Isaac Pearce, who died in 1831.
