Group Of 7 Smith Monuments, In The Churchyard, Between About 1 1/2 Metres And 6 Metres East Of East Wall Of Nave, Church Of St Lawrence

This group of seven Smith monuments is located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Lawrence, positioned between approximately 1.5 and 6 meters east of the east wall of the nave. The group consists of five chest tombs and two headstones, dating from the 18th and early 19th centuries, all made of stone.

The north-west chest tomb is dedicated to Thomas Smith, who died in 1839. It features a flat lid with a moulded edge, corner balusters in a quarter-square design, sunk oval ends, and large sunk oval sides with fan fluting at the corners, along with a moulded base. To the east is a chest tomb for William Smith, who died in 1829, which resembles Thomas Smith's tomb but has a plain lid with a slightly raised rectangle in the center, a draped urn at the north end, and inverted torches at the south end.

Next is the chest tomb of Robert Smith, who died in 1837, which has a swept hipped lid, a moulded edge, and slight downward tapering sides with a bead outline on the panels, along with a moulded top to the plinth. The south-west monument is for Margaret Smith, who died in 1827, resembling Thomas Smith's tomb but featuring a raised rim to the ovals, fluting on the ends, an urn on the south end, and palms on the north.

To the east is the chest tomb of Mary Smith, who died in 1789, with a flat lid, moulded edge, quarter-square corner balusters, a raised rectangular panel on the sides, a fielded panel on the north end, an urn on the south, and a moulded plinth.

The first headstone, for John Smith who died in 1828, has a cambered top with an urn carved on its face and also commemorates his daughter who died in 1817. The second headstone is for John Smith, who died in 1753, featuring a cambered top with three curves and fine rococo carving, including a cherub's head in the center. Stone paving connects the four chest tombs nearest to the church.
