Description

The Taylor Monument is a large pedestal tomb located about 22 meters south of the south door, immediately east of the path in the churchyard of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels. The earliest decipherable date on the monument is 1775, belonging to John Taylor. It is made of red sandstone and features a stepped cap with a gadrooned pyramidal top and plain squared finials. The underside of the capping is slightly moulded, and it has a tall moulded plinth on a very large square two-step base, which is supported by bricks and was partially overgrown at the time of the survey in November 1985. The monument has indented corners, a fluted frieze with paterae, and raised oval panels on the north and south sides with edge moulding. The east and west sides display ribbons and slightly raised shields.
