Description
A group of five memorials is located approximately 6 meters west of the west wall of the Church of St Giles in Uley. The memorials are arranged in a straight north-south alignment, with one tomb situated about 2 meters closer to the wall, opposite a buttress.
The first memorial is a chest tomb from the 18th century made of limestone. It features a heavy moulded top and has remnants of an inscription on the north side, though no name or date is decipherable. At the time of the survey, it was sunk half-depth into the ground and is the northernmost item in the group.
The second memorial is a tall chest tomb from the early 18th century, also made of limestone. It has a Baroque design with a roll and cyma top, a moulded base, enriched quarter balusters, cartouches on the east and west sides, and rectangular panels in bolection mould with decorative floral supporters. The inscriptions are not legible.
The third memorial is another chest tomb from the early 18th century, made of limestone. It features a cyma top, lyre and panels, and rectangular inscription panels in bolection mouldings. The north panel was broken at the time of the survey, while the south panel displayed a good Baroque cartouche. This tomb was also sunk half-depth into the ground, and the inscriptions were not legible.
The fourth memorial is a chest tomb from the 18th century, made of limestone. It has a cyma top and simple end and side panels. At the time of the survey, it was sinking into the ground and leaning, with inscriptions that were not legible. This tomb is located about 4 meters due west of the buttress on the church's west wall.
The fifth memorial is an altar tomb from the early 19th century, made of sandstone. It features a square pedestal, a stepped top with a large urn, a high plinth, reeded corner pilasters, and raised inscription panels. The name William Albert Price is noted, though the dates are not legible. This tomb is situated at the south end of the group, directly west from the south-west corner of the church and was formerly enclosed by a railing.
