Description
The Weale Monument, located about 5 metres south of the east end of the nave in the churchyard of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, is a headstone commemorating George Weale, who died in 1665. Made of stone, it features a steep segmental head with an inscription set in a deeply sunk panel, surrounded by a continuous scroll carved along the edge. The headstone is adorned with an hourglass and two hearts. The lettering is deeply incised, well-formed, and features flowing capitals in a mix of upper and lower case. This monument is notable as the earliest surviving memorial in the churchyard and is unusually early for its location.
