Description
The Five Crook monuments are a group of five chest tombs located in the churchyard south of the southwest angle of the Church of St Nicholas in Bremhill, dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. They are constructed of ashlar stone.
Starting from the north, the first monument is dedicated to Mary Crook and dates from the late 18th century. It features a moulded base and cornice, rounded angles with husk drops, and a raised center with a fielded plaque surrounded by an egg-and-dart border, along with fielded panels on either side. The inscription notes that Mary Crook died in 1797.
The remaining four monuments are nearly identical and commemorate members of the Crook family. They have baluster angles, moulded bases and cornices, and raised centers with fielded rectangular plaques and framed strips on the sides. The second monument is inscribed to Alice Crook, who died in 1789. The third and fourth monuments have eroded lettering, while the fifth monument is inscribed to Walter Crook, who died in 1827.
