Description
This listing describes a group of six monuments located in the churchyard approximately 12 meters west of the entry steps. These monuments date from the late 17th century to the late 18th century and are made of limestone.
The group includes a pedestal tomb featuring finely carved architraves and a fret frieze, inscribed to Richard Cambridge, who died in 1756. There are also five chest tombs: one tall tomb with corner pilasters, inscribed to Nathaniel Cambridge, who died in 1695; one plain tomb with a 17th-century inscribed verse on one end and a 18th-century alteration on the opposite end inscribed to Richard Lockey, who died in 1756; and three lyre-ended chest tombs. One of these is inscribed to Thomas Shurmur, dated 1753, another is inscribed to Hannah Shurmur, who died in 1787, and the third features anthropomorphic end cartouches with illegible inscriptions.
