Description
Freames Monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, about 2 meters north-east of the north-east corner of the north porch of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. This early 19th-century stone monument features a flat top with a double splay below, which ends in a vertical edge leading to a widely projecting lid. The sides of the tomb slope inward towards the base, each adorned with a tooled line that outlines a trapezium-shaped panel intended for lettering. The monument rests on a double-splay base and is surrounded by a wide, flat stone. It commemorates Thomas Freames, who died in 1816, and his wife Sarah, along with additional inscriptions added after 1830.
