Group Of Fowle Monuments In Churchyard, 8 Metres South Of Chancel, Church Of St Peter

A group of five chest tombs from the 18th and early 19th centuries is located in the churchyard, 8 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Peter in Charlton. These tombs are made of limestone and arranged in two rows.

In the east row, the first tomb is a double chest tomb featuring a moulded table and base, with oval panels situated between scrolled pilasters, dedicated to William Fowle, who died in 1777. The second tomb is a tall chest tomb with a moulded table and base, recessed corner balusters, and oval panels between garlanded pilasters, commemorating Mrs Bloxham (Fowle), who died in 1820.

In the west row, the first tomb is a chest tomb with a moulded table and base, fluted end pilasters, and a cornice, inscribed for Thomas Fowle, who died in 1740. The second tomb has a moulded table and base, thin corner balusters, and a reeded fascia, with moulded panels that are no longer legible, dating from the early 19th century. The last tomb is similar but features an oval gadrooned panel, dedicated to Henry Fowle, who died in 1782.
