Description
The Morrison monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 19 meters southeast of the tower of the Church of Holy Trinity in Fonthill Gifford. This large Gothic-style tomb is made of limestone and features a plinth with blind arcaded panels. It has corner pilasters that rise to a frieze adorned with rosettes and a cornice leading to a flat top, which bears an inscription in Gothic-style lettering. The monument commemorates Alfred Morrison, who died in 1897. He was the owner of the Italianate Fonthill House, designed by Wyatt and Brandon in 1848/49, which was demolished in 1921. Morrison's initials can also be found on several dated estate cottages, including Nos 46-49 Bishop's Fonthill.
