Description
The Mary Glass monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 8 meters north of the northeast corner of the Church of St Mary. This late 18th-century tomb is constructed from ashlar stone and features a large oval plaque on the south side, bordered by cherub heads in the spandrels, with draped urns on either side and husk drops on the angle piers. It has a moulded base and cornice, along with a fluted frieze. The north side displays two fielded plaques with a draped urn positioned between them, and fluted angle piers adorned with oval paterae. The monument bears an inscription commemorating Mary Glass, who died in 1796. It is surrounded by spearhead iron railings.
