Description

Two Butcher Monuments, located about 16 meters north of the east buttress of the porch in the churchyard of the Church of St. Nicholas, date from 1763 and 1820. The chest tomb commemorates Samuel Butcher and features a flat top with a moulded plinth and capping, though the southwest corner is broken off. It has lyre ends with floral returns, cherubs' heads on the west end, and a cartouche on the east. There is a large floral surround cartouche on the south side, a recessed moulded rectangular panel on the north, and flanking scroll reliefs. The pedestal tomb honors Joseph Butcher and has a square shape with a convex pyramidal cap topped by a large crested ball finial. It has a plain top and a tall plinth on the base, with unfluted columns at each corner. The east and west sides feature recessed panels shaped like tombstones, while the north and south sides have raised ovals adorned with draped leaf reliefs.
