Description
The John Bryan monument, located approximately 25 meters in the churchyard southeast of the lych gate to the Church of St Mary in Painswick, is a Grade II* listed pyramid monument dedicated to John Bryan, a carver, who died in 1787. Made of limestone, the monument features a tall, sharp pyramid design inspired by the Pyramid of Cestius in Rome, and it stands on a high, two-step square base. The structure is mostly plain, with the exception of an applied plaque on the north face that commemorates John Bryan, aged 70, along with his wife and daughter. Bryan was a prominent mason involved in the churchyard's construction and is believed to have lived in a house known as Selsdon on Brisley Street. This monument holds significant historical interest for Painswick and its notable churchyard.
