Description
Two monuments in the churchyard, located about 9 meters south of the aisle of the Church of St James, are early 19th-century chest tombs made of ashlar. The first monument, which is unidentified, features a fluted frieze and a stepped ridged cap, with ornamented baluster angles and low relief oval plaques on each side, flanked by urns in Gothic niches. The second monument is the Vines monument, which has baluster angles, a plinth, a moulded base, and a heavy cornice with a reeded edge. It also includes a panelled frieze adorned with rosettes and a stepped ridged cap. There are two plaques on each side with incised borders and rebated angles, with the southern plaque inscribed to Maria Ann Vines, who died in 1825. This monument is identical to two others located at Bremhill.
