Description
The William Trinder monument and the two monuments on either side are located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Peter, approximately 5 metres south of the south door. This group includes a bale tomb and two flanking headstones, all made of limestone and dating from the 17th to 18th centuries.
The bale tomb features an inscription dedicated to William Trinder, who died in 1677, displayed on an oval plaque surrounded by a foliate design. There are blind round-headed arches on either side, complete with imposts and keystones, and a frieze above all three panels. The south side has a similar design with an eroded inscription for William Trinder's wife. There are later inscriptions on sunken panels at the east and west ends, including one at the west end for Hannah, the wife of William Trinder, with an almost illegible date of 1795. The bale stone is ribbed with scalloped ends and features a carved mask with scrolls at the west end.
To the left of the bale tomb is a headstone from the 18th century, made of limestone, which has an illegible cartouche-like inscription and a single winged cherub's head at the top center. The headstone to the right of the bale tomb is also from the 18th century and features an illegible cartouche-like inscription with two winged cherubs' heads at the top.
