Description
The pair of Habgood monuments are two chest tombs located in the churchyard, 8 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St. John. They date from the late 18th century and are made of limestone. The northern tomb features a moulded top with a reeded fascia and recessed corner balusters, along with a cavetto base. It is dedicated to William Habgood, a haberdasher from London, who died in 1798. The southern tomb has a moulded table and a cavetto base, with recessed corner balusters. It bears a lightly incised inscription and two plain ovals on the north face, commemorating another Habgood who died in 1791. This pair of tombs is part of a group of Habgood tombs and headstones situated south of the chancel and south transept.
