Description
The Young and Granger monuments are two chest tombs located about 3 metres south of the chancel at the southeast angle of the Church of St James. These monuments date from the 18th century and are made of ashlar.
The first monument is dedicated to John Young, featuring two shield plaques on each side, a fielded panelled centre, and angle piers. It has a moulded base and cornice, with a pulvinated frieze that is broken forward over the piers. The inscription notes that John Young died in 1808.
The second monument is for Ann Granger and also includes two shield plaques on each side. It has a fluted Doric centre and angle columns, along with a moulded base and cornice, similar to the first monument, with a pulvinated frieze that is broken forward over the columns. The inscription indicates that Ann Granger died in the 1780s.
