Two Monuments In Churchyard South Of South Aisle Of Church Of Saint Mary And Saint Ethelbert

There are two chest tombs located in the churchyard south of the south aisle of the Church of Saint Mary and Saint Ethelbert, dating from the mid-18th century and made of ashlar.

The first tomb, which is an unidentified memorial, features a large oval plaque on the south side and is flanked by egg-and-dart bordered fielded panels. It has a raised fielded plaque on the north side with fielded panels on either side, and floral drops at the chamfered angles. The tomb has a moulded base and cornice that breaks forward over the south plaque.

The second tomb is the Horton memorial, which includes richly scrolled angle piers. On the north side, there is a sunk plaque with an egg-and-dart border and a scrolled strip to the left, while the right side has a blank panel. The end plaques are fielded, and the south panel is also fielded, with fielded strips flanking it. This tomb commemorates James Horton, who died in 1762.
