Gardner And One Unidentified Monuments South Of South Aisle To The Church Of St Mary

The Gardner monument and one unidentified monument are located approximately 7 meters south of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary. The Gardner monument is a square pedestal tomb, dating from 1801, dedicated to Captain James Gardner. It is made of sandstone and limestone, featuring a square domed capping that once had a finial, resting on a three-step base with a moulded edge, all crafted in sandstone. The chest section is made of badly weathered limestone and includes quarter balusters, a fluted and moulded frieze, and bolstered panels, set on a sandstone moulded base and a two-step platform that was formerly railed. Although the inscription is not currently legible, a survey from 1879 records the name Gardner. The monument was treated with silicone spray in 1973.

The second monument is a headstone located about 2 meters south of the Gardner tomb. This mid-18th century headstone is made of limestone and features a shaped top with two cherub heads, floral margins, and a raised panel mould that sweeps out at the foot. The inscription is also not legible.
