Description
Two Gardner monuments and one unidentified monument are located about 4 meters southeast of the Holder monument in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary. These monuments date from the early 18th century and are made of limestone.
The first is a chest tomb with a flat base and a cyma edge, featuring lyre ends, although the western end is badly broken. It has raised mould panels supported by flaming torches and emblems, including a skull. The elliptical south panel includes some lettering, notably the name Luke Gardner, dated 1729; he was a tallow chandler.
The second chest tomb also has a flat table with a cyma edge and lyre ends, with the western end being badly worn. It features bolection mould panels supported by pilasters. The base was not legible at the time of the survey in 1984, but it was recorded in a 1879 survey as belonging to Dorwood Gardner, who died in 1717 at the age of 8.
The third monument is a headstone facing east, located immediately to the east of the first chest tomb. It features a cherub with wings and drapes in a sunk square panel, although the lettering is not decipherable.
