Description
This is a chest tomb located in the churchyard of the Church of Holy Trinity, about 3 meters south of the south-west corner of the nave. It was created in 1754 by Giles Samson of Westbury and is made of stone. The tomb features a flat lid with a moulded edge and a worked margin on the south side. The ends are scrolled, with leaf carving and inverted gadrooning. The west end displays two angels carrying a large crown, positioned under draped curtains with flowers hanging down from their outer hands, along with the mason's name below. The east end depicts Father Time holding an hourglass and scythe, and the tomb has a moulded base. It commemorates William Church Senior, who died in 1754, and William Church Junior, who died in 1755, featuring a long 's' in the inscription with good lettering. There are later inscriptions added up to 1858, with the last one found on the lid.
