Four Monuments In The Churchyard Between 3 And 8 Metres South Of Porch Of Church Of St James

This listing describes a group of four chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between 3 and 8 metres south of the porch of the Church of St James in South Wraxall. One of the tombs dates from the 17th century, while the other three are from the 18th century.

The 17th-century tomb, situated to the north of the group, features a plain north panel and two south panels adorned with large, high relief-carved lozenges. The end panels also display lozenges and have a cyma-moulded flat top. The tall 18th-century tomb to the south has a moulded plinth, three fielded panels on its sides, scrolled carved corners, and a moulded cornice. The southeast tomb is characterized by two shield-shaped moulded panels and a pulvinated, moulded flat top. The easternmost tomb has two fielded panels, quarter balusters at the corners, and a fluted frieze leading to a flat top. All the tombs have illegible inscriptions, except for the eastern tomb, which bears an inscription for Thomas Tidcombe, who died in 1783.
