Description
This listing describes a row of three headstones located in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist, approximately 7 metres east of the east end of the chancel in Great Rissington. The headstones, made of limestone, date from the late 18th century and all face west.
The leftmost headstone features a canted top with a winged angel's head and an illegible inscription adorned with foliate scrollwork below. Slightly to the right is another headstone dedicated to William Gill, who died in 1739. This headstone has a moulded segmental top and a single flower at the apex. The headstone immediately to the right has a partially legible inscription dated 1771, and it also has a segmental top with a winged cherub's head and foliate scrollwork surrounding the inscription.
