Description
The listing describes six monuments located in the churchyard of the Church of Holy Trinity, positioned between approximately 2.5 meters and 8.5 meters south of the nave. This includes one chest tomb from the early 18th century and five pedestal tombs from the early 19th century, all made of stone.
The pedestal tombs feature moulded tops on plinths and square stone bases at ground level. The north-west monument is dedicated to Mary Bullock, who died in 1819. It has a pyramid top with moulding that sweeps down to a step, a weathered top lid, and a moulded edge. The sides are rectangular with scalloped corners framed in plain rectangles, decorated with leaf carvings on the east and west sides and paterae on the north and south. The lettering is well-preserved with inscriptions dating to 1853.
The north-east monument commemorates William Bullock, who died in 1807. It features a reeded square dome with a step to the lid and a moulded edge, along with a reeded frieze that stops at the corners. The sides have sunk ovals with a swelling centre, and the east face is carved with an urn and poppies, featuring indented corners and good lettering, some in italic.
To the south, there is a monument for David Palmer, who died in 1836, with a pyramid top, mouldings, a steeply weathered block, and a step to the lid. It has a moulded edge and a fluted frieze with centre and end paterae. The sides consist of rectangular panels on the north and south, while the east and west sides are similar but with scalloped corners.
Another monument to the south is for Charles Bullock, who died in 1826, featuring a square dome with an iron ball finial, a step down to the lid, and a moulded edge. It has a fluted frieze with corner and centre paterae, and sunk rectangular panels on the sides, adorned with leaf carvings around a raised oval.
The chest tomb to the south has a weathered inscription that may refer to Handman, who died in 1732. It features a thick, flat lid with a moulded edge, plain lyre ends, a plain north side, and a fielded panel on the south.
Finally, the south-west monument is for Samuel Bullock, who died in 1829, resembling the one for Charles Bullock but topped with a stone ball finial. It also features good lettering, some in italic.
