Description
The John Lorde monument and ten headstones are located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Andrew, approximately 9 meters south of the south porch. This site features a chest tomb and two rows of headstones. The chest tomb, dedicated to John Lorde the Younger who died in 1644, is made of limestone and is situated about 3 meters southwest of the tower. It has a trefoil-headed arcade with three blind arches on each side, adorned with carved spandrels and a single rose within each panel. There is also a similar blind arch at the east end and a plain round-headed arch with a clear inscription at the west end.
To the west of the John Lorde tomb, there is a row of four 18th-century headstones, each showcasing various designs, including one with a carved skull projecting from the top. Further west, there is a row of six 17th-century headstones, also displaying a variety of designs. Among these, two matching headstones on the far left feature pedimented tops and inscriptions dated 1676. This collection of monuments is noted for its unusual richness.
