Row Of 4 Durrant Headstones About 1M East Of The Porch Of The Church Of St Peter And St James

This is a row of four Durrant headstones located about 1 meter east of the porch of the Church of St Peter and St James, dating from the early 19th century. They are made of slate. The northernmost headstone commemorates Thomas Durrant, who died in 1805, and features a segmental head with verse below the inscription. The next headstone to the south has a shaped head and commemorates Edith Durrant, who died in 1802; it includes a carved vase of flowers in the head and verse below the inscription. The second headstone from the north honors John Durrant of Foxhole, who died in 1821, and is signed by Richard Reddicliffe. This headstone has an elaborate shaped head with heavy ogee mouldings, a rectangular inscription panel raised from a textured border, and an eternal lamp with festoons of bay leaves carved in deep relief in the head, along with good lettering and scrollwork on the inscription. The southernmost headstone commemorates William Durrant, who died in 1825, and features a moulded shaped head with three segmental arches, an angel in a roundel with swags carved in the head, and an inscription framed by reeded pilasters and an entablature.
