Description
This group of seven monuments is located in the churchyard, between 2 and 9 meters south of the Church of St Margaret of Antioch. They date from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. Five of the tombs are made of limestone, while two are constructed from blue lias stone.
The westernmost tomb is dedicated to Ann Everett, who died in 1819. It features two shaped panels with fan-carved spandrels, a frieze adorned with rosettes and raised lozenge decoration, and fielded pilasters topped with a moulded flat top. The tomb of Nicholas Eyres, who died in 1781, shares a similar style with a tomb located in a railed enclosure nearby.
The blue lias tombs belong to Robert Meares, who died in 1779, and Alicia Knight, who died in 1838. The former has shaped panels and reeded pilasters, while the latter is plainer with an illegible inscription on its flat top.
To the east, three 18th-century tombs have two panels on their main sides. The southernmost tomb features a pulvinated frieze, while the next one to the north has a relief-carved floral center panel and a plain frieze. The Weeks tomb, which is closest to the church, includes beaded panels, quarter balusters, and a fluted frieze with rosettes, along with partly illegible inscriptions.
