Description
The Thomas Rooke monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Edward, approximately 4 meters east of the east end of the chancel. It dates from the 17th century and is made of limestone. The sides of the tomb are divided into three blind four-centred arches, each featuring carved spandrels. There are single four-centred arches at both ends of the tomb. An inscription in capital letters at the west end commemorates Thomas Rooke, son of Thomas Rooke. The tomb is topped with a thick capping stone that has a moulded margin. Similar chest tombs can be found in the churchyards at Bledington and Daylesford.
