Description
The William Skuce monument is a bale tomb located in the churchyard approximately 15 meters south of the south aisle of the Church of St. Mary. It dates from 1724 and 1774 and is made of limestone. The tomb is rectangular and features corner pilasters, an elaborately bordered inscription panel on the north side, and an oval panel on the south side. The west end displays an open book surmounted by two heads, while the east end has an oval cartouche. The base is cyma moulded, and the top is plainly shaped. Although the bale is somewhat eroded, it retains a fielded panel design. The west end has decayed, and there is a winged hourglass on the east side. The monument is inscribed to William Skuce, who died in 1774.
