Description
A group of 10 monuments is located in the churchyard approximately 2 meters south of the tower of the Church of St Andrew in Miserden. These monuments date from the late 17th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone, with some featuring brass plates on ledger slabs.
The group includes one chest tomb and one 'tea caddy' tomb, along with eight headstones. The hexagonal 'tea caddy' has a fluted frieze and round-topped panels on each face, displaying symbols of death below. It features a moulded cornice with a domical gadrooned cap and an acorn finial, though the inscriptions are illegible. The rectangular chest tomb has baluster-shaped ends, with side panels that have an egg and dart border on the north side and a fielded panel on the south. The cyma moulded top is inscribed on the south side to John Bradley, who died in 1859, indicating that the tomb has a mid-18th century design.
There are two rows of 17th-century headstones, two of which are very large. Additionally, there are four brass plates on ledger slabs inscribed to William Hambling Herbert, who died in 1791; Peter Herbert, who died in 1776; Mary Doudin, who died in 1783; and Ann Coates, who died in 1772.
