William Harbridge Monument In The Churchyard About 2.5 Metres South Of South Transept Of The Church Of St Thomas

The William Harbridge monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 2.5 metres south of the south transept of the Church of St. Thomas. It dates from the late 18th century and is made of siltstone, featuring sandstone quarter balusters and a capping. The tomb has a moulded plinth at its base and is surrounded by a cast iron railing, which has some missing urn finials. The inscription is present on two sides, though the south side is now illegible and the north side is almost illegible. The moulded capping is likely not original. Decorative features include carved Tudor roses within ogee-shaped arches at the lower left and right of the inscription on the north side, and carved urns in the same positions on the south side. Additionally, there is low relief carving depicting Adam and Eve and an angel at the east end, and Joseph's dream, showing Joseph with sheaves of corn, at the west end. The tomb is similar to the Phillips family chest tombs and is probably the work of Francis Ballard.
