Description
The Hill Monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 18 meters south of the east end of the chancel of the Church of St. Mary. It was likely created around 1800 and is made of stone. The tomb features a flat lid with a moulded edge, a fluted frieze adorned with paterae, and quarter rectangular corner balusters with fluted stems. The sides and ends have a moulded frame surrounding a rectangular panel. The monument is set into the ground, and any inscriptions on the sides have weathered away. However, there is an inscription on the lid commemorating Ann Hill, who died as an infant in 1796. The design of this monument is similar to those of the Tibbatts and Hartland monuments.
