Two Rogers Monuments In Churchyard About 3 Metres South Of Aisle Of Church Of St James

Two Rogers monuments are located in the churchyard about 3 meters south of the aisle of the Church of St James. These are two chest tombs made of ashlar, dating from the 18th and early 19th centuries.

The first, a monument to John Rogers from the early 19th century, features a fluted frieze that projects forward over plaques and rosettes at the center and on the angle piers. It has a large floral drop in the center and additional floral drops on the angle piers, topped with a ridged capstone. The north side has an inscription commemorating John Rogers, who died in 1803.

The second monument is dedicated to Anthony Rogers and dates from the mid to late 18th century. It includes two shield plaques on each side, with a scroll-decorated center and angle piers. The base and cornice are moulded, with a pulvinated frieze that also projects forward over the piers. The south side features an inscription for A. Rogers, who died in 1763.
