Morse Monument, In The Churchyard, About 4 Metres South East Of South East Corner Of South Aisle, Church Of St Mary

The Morse monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 4 meters southeast of the southeast corner of the south aisle of the Church of St. Mary. It was likely built in the second half of the 18th century and is made of stone. The tomb features a flat lid with a simply moulded edge. The south side is plain, marked only by an incised line as a margin, and has scalloped corners with paterae. The north side has a raised panel adorned with acanthus moulding and indented segmental ends, along with rococo carving. The ends of the tomb are designed with elongated pilasters, and the west side displays a coat of arms within a rococo surround, while the narrow ends have carved decoration. The east end is plain, likely similar to the west side but has weathered over time. The monument stands on a moulded plinth atop a wider, rectangular base. It commemorates Morse on the north side, though the inscription is weathered, and Goode on the south side, with dates of 1838 and 1841.
