Description
The monument to William Rogers is a chest tomb located in the churchyard approximately 9 metres south-west of the porch of the Church of St Andrew. It dates from the early 18th century and is made of sandstone. The tomb features a flat top with a moulded edge, gadrooned quarter balusters, and cartouches on the east, west, and south sides that contain very fine inscriptions. The north side has a simpler panel. At the time of the survey in September 1983, the base was not visible as the monument was falling and overgrown with ivy. The earliest legible inscription is for William Rogers, dated 1761, although the design is characteristic of an earlier part of the 18th century. This monument is part of a group of six monuments located south of the porch and is situated about 2.5 metres south of the John Barrow monument.
