Description
The Lewis Monument is a pedestal tomb located in the churchyard about 15 meters south of the east end of the chancel at the Church of St. John the Baptist. It was erected in 1845 for John Lewis and is made of stone. The tomb features a wide moulded projection on the lid, which is set back above a stop and includes roll and torus moulding that rises to a central cap. The lid has a moulded edge with a gadrooned top edge, above a square cyma dome that is adorned with leaves. The sides are decorated with a vertical leaf frieze and a reeded frame, with square corner paterae. The base is also moulded. The inscription includes well-cut lettering with the word 'Sacred' in Gothic script, accompanied by scrolls below and some italic letters. The lettering shows signs of having been painted.
