Adams Monument, In Churchyard, About 4 1/2 Metres North Of North East Corner Of North Aisle, Church Of St Peter And St Paul

The Adams monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 4.5 meters north of the north-east corner of the north aisle of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. It commemorates Thomas Adams, who died in 1759, and is made of stone. The tomb features a flat lid with a widely projecting edge and a hollow chamfer. The corners are adorned with quarter-square bulbous gadrooned balusters, and there are scrolls carved on part of the monument.

The sides include a central panel with narrow flanking end panels. On the north side, there is a central feature at the top with drapery and tassels framing the panel, along with curious pendant and square scroll flanking panels. The south side has very thin flanking panels, with a central head featuring wings at right angles to each other and a stylized plant that is partly weathered. The ends display a serpent of eternity surrounding an hourglass, with fronds above and feathers on each side, all set on a scrolled base. The entire monument rests on a chamfered plinth.
