Description

Four monuments in the churchyard, located between 0.5 and 3 metres north of the Chapman Cross, consist of four chest tombs from the late 18th century and early 19th century. The Chapman tomb is made of blue lias stone, while the Pepler, Bartle, and Biggs tombs are constructed from limestone. The tomb for John Pepler, who died in 1807, features two octagonal fielded panels, fielded pilasters with rosettes, shield-shaped end panels, a moulded cornice, and a flat top. To the north, there is a tomb in the same style for William Bartle, who died in 1772. To the east, a large blue lias tomb commemorates Elizabeth Chapman, who died in 1828, and includes a chamfered plinth, a dentilled cornice, and a weathered top. Adjacent to this is the Biggs and Chapman tomb, which has two panels, a bas-relief carved urn in the centre panels, and fluted pilasters; Samuel Biggs died in 1834.
