Description
The Thorpe Monument is a chest tomb located immediately adjacent to bay 1 of the nave from the east on the north side in the churchyard of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Berkeley. It commemorates George and Mary Thorpe, with Mary having died in 1669. The tomb is made of limestone and features a flat top, a moulded plinth, and capping. The ends of the tomb have oval panels that display heads or skulls. The sides are divided into two recessed panels, with coats of arms on the east side and inscriptions on the west side. The top of the monument is badly eroded, and the northeast side panel is breaking up and partially overgrown as of the survey in November 1984. George and Mary Thorpe were grandchildren of George Thorpe and John Smyth, who were co-sponsors with Richard Berkeley and Sir William Throckmorton of the Berkeley Hundred Plantation in Virginia, USA, in 1619.
