Wigmore Memorial, About 4 Metres North West Of Porch In Churchyard Of St Nicholas

The Wigmore memorial is an altar tomb located about 4 meters northwest of the porch in the churchyard of St. Nicholas in Cherington. It dates from the late 18th century, with the earliest decipherable date being 1791. The tomb is made of limestone and features a rectangular, moulded plinth at the base. It has a tall central structure topped with a large rectangular slab that has a gadrooned rectangular finial. There are four inscription panels: the east and west sides have oval panels with foliage decoration in the spandrels and returns, the north side features a rectangular panel with a carved moulded edge and decorative quadrants, while the south side has a plain rectangular fielded panel. At the time of the survey in August 1984, the inscription on the north side was only partially decipherable.
