Description
This is a row of six headstones located in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist, approximately 2.5 meters east of the David Ansell monument. They date from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century and commemorate members of the Woodman or Eelles families, where the inscriptions are still legible. The far right headstone is made of sandstone, while the other five are made of limestone. Each of the limestone headstones features winged cherubs' heads at the top. The two taller headstones have borders around their inscriptions that are decorated with bold relief foliate scrollwork. The segmental-headed headstone situated between these two is likely the oldest in the group and has a partially legible inscription that may include the date 1741.
