Monument To Walter Webley In The Churchyard About 12 Metres South East Of Tower Face Of The Church Of St Mary And St Peter

The monument to Walter Webley is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 12 metres southeast of the tower face of the Church of St Mary and St Peter. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and is made of sandstone. The tomb features a thick flat top with a moulded edge and two arched panels that have an egg-and-dart edge moulding on the north and south sides. The east side displays a cartouche containing a coat of arms, which is surmounted by an arm holding a sword. The west side has a roundel with a rosette and an enriched surround, along with two small columns that have cushion-like caps. Additionally, there are two similar columns carved in high relief on the south face. The tomb has a moulded base, which was partially sunk at the time of survey in December 1983. Inscriptions on the tomb include 'Walter Webley, his son ..... also interred ...' in 1703. The intricate design of the tomb indicates it is from the 17th century rather than the 18th century. It is aligned with the monuments to Elinor Webley and Christian Webley and is part of a group of four family memorials.
