Two Baker Monuments In The Churchyard, 1 Metre West Of Tower, Church Of St Giles

Two Baker monuments are located in the churchyard, 1 metre west of the tower of the Church of St Giles. These are two chest tombs from the early and late 19th century, made of limestone and inscribed from north to south.

The first monument dates from 1870 and is a copy of an adjacent monument. It is designed in the Greek Revival style, featuring a rectangular chest on a high plinth with raised panels on the sides and ends. It has incised Roman and italic lettering for several members of the Baker family. The base and cornice are moulded, topped with an elaborate slab that has a pedimented and cambered design, decorated on the sides with paterae, acanthus, and acroterion motifs.

The second monument, from 1828, also follows the Greek Revival style. It shares similar features with the first, including a rectangular chest on a high plinth, raised panels, and incised lettering for members of the Baker family, along with a moulded base and cornice, and decorative elements on the slab.
