Description
This listing describes a pair of chest tombs located towards the center of a disused churchyard in Erlestoke. Both tombs date from the 18th century and are constructed of ashlar stone.
The first tomb, known as the Delme memorial, is from the mid-18th century and features two broad shield plaques on each side, along with a moulded base and cornice that includes a pulvinated frieze.
The second tomb is an unidentified memorial, also from the mid-18th century. It has two raised octagonal plaques on each side, with fielded panelled piers at the angles and center, which include rosettes. This tomb also has a moulded base and cornice, with a pulvinated frieze that is broken forward over the piers. The date 1779 is decipherable on this tomb.
Both tombs are situated in the churchyard of the former Church of St James, which was demolished in 1880.
