Description

The Bishop and Grundey monuments are pedestal tombs located in the churchyard about 8 meters south-southeast of the east corner of the former central tower of the Church of St. Mary. The Bishop monument, dating from the early 19th century, features a square base with a small reeded circular dome on top, a flat surface, and a moulded edge. The sides are framed and plain with slightly raised corners, and there is a recessed rectangular panel with a plain oval and low relief leaves in the spandrels. The base is moulded, but two side panels are eroded, with the earliest legible date being 1816.

The Grundey monument is hexagonal in shape. It originally had a circular base for an urn, which was missing at the time of the survey in 1985. The monument has an octagonal top and a scotia moulded base, with a flat surface on the main section and a moulded edge. It features a reeded frieze with oval paterae at the corners, and the sides alternate between tall ovals with corner paterae and rectangles with scalloped corners. There are later inscriptions dating to 1839, with a long 's' used in one of the inscriptions.
