Description
The Nash monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, about 15 meters south of the south-east corner of the south transept of the Church of St. Mary. It commemorates Profet Nash, who died in 1783, and is made of stone. The tomb features a flat lid with a moulded edge, quarter-square fluted pilasters at the corners, plain ends, and fielded panels with scalloped corners on the sides. It has a moulded base and also honors Nash's wife. In the early 19th century, farmers used this tomb to pay their men after church on Sunday mornings, as noted by Rev. J.E. Gethyn-Jones in "Dymock down the Ages," published in 1966.
