Description
This is a group of 19 monuments located in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, approximately 3 to 23 metres south of the south transept and aisle. The monuments largely date to the 18th century, with some from the late 17th and early 19th centuries, and are constructed primarily from limestone.
The group comprises eight chest tombs, ten single headstones, and one double head and footstone. Monument (1) is a chest tomb commemorating Edmund Hillier, dated 1720, exhibiting a plain moulded capping, slab sides, and a flat top. Monument (2) is a mid-18th century headstone featuring a cherub head and cartouche relief on the west side. Monument (3), a double head and footstone of early 18th or possibly late 17th-century origin, has strapwork carved relief across the top of the headstone. A pair of mid-18th century headstones (monuments 4) incorporate cherub heads, one with a festoon and the other a cartouche. Monument (5) is a late 17th/early 18th-century chest tomb, plain apart from a moulded capping and a flat top, though the slab sides were deteriorating at the time of survey in September 1985. Monument (6), dated 1777, is a chest tomb with a moulded plinth and capping, quarter baluster corners, and plain sides and ends.
Seven headstones (monuments 7) are grouped together, featuring 'archer' head shapes. These commemorate Mary (1729) with a footstone, David (1749), John (1740), John (1750), Mary or Margaret (1717), an unidentified individual (early/mid 18th century), and Paul (1769). Two further chest tombs (monuments 8), dated 1809 and 1842 with his wife Hannah (1841), are located to the west of this row. The 1809 tomb has moulded plinth and capping on a base with straight quarter baluster corners and low-relief side cartouches; the 1842 tomb features a tent top, moulded plinth and capping, quarter baluster corners, shallow fielded sides and ends, and low relief carving around recessed circular panels. Monument (9) is a chest tomb, likely from the mid-18th century, with a moulded plinth and capping and slab sides and ends. Finally, two chest tombs from the Ruck family (monuments 10), dated 1813 and 1868, represent the southernmost structures. The 1813 tomb has a chamfered tent top with a curved top section, moulded capping, and fielded sides and ends. The 1868 tomb features a stepped and chamfered tent top, moulded capping, quarter baluster corners, and shallow fielded sides and ends. Overall, the group represents a splendid collection with richly modelled headstones.
