Description
Pepwell and the associated monument are located in the churchyard, 17 meters southwest of the tower of the Church of St. John. These are a pair of tombs dating from the early 18th century, made of limestone. The northern tomb is a reeded bale tomb with shell ends, featuring elaborate corner balusters and bolection panelled ends, although the inscriptions are not visible. The southern tomb is a chest tomb with a moulded table and a chamfered base, which has recessed corner balusters. This tomb is dedicated to Martha Pepwell, who died in 1713. Near the entrance to the churchyard, there are also two drums of Roman columns, one fluted with a diameter of 84 centimeters and the other plain, widening to a square base.
