Description
A group of seven chest tombs, located approximately 3 metres north of the north wall of the north aisle of the Parish Church of St George. The memorials extend for roughly 25 metres from east to west.
The first, a 17th-century chest tomb, is constructed of limestone with a thick moulded top and base. The inscriptions are illegible. This tomb is situated 3 metres north of the east end of the north aisle.
The second memorial, also a limestone chest tomb dating to the mid 17th century, commemorates Edward Trotman the Elder who was born in 1545 and died in 1633. It features excellent lettering on the inscription.
The third chest tomb, likely 18th century with some early 19th-century elements, is made of limestone and includes a cyma top, cavetto base, quarter balusters, and fielded panels. It commemorates … Turner, Nash Cart, who died in 1809, but the memorial itself appears to be from the earlier to mid 18th century. The tomb is located approximately 3 metres west of the Trotman memorial.
The fourth chest tomb, dating to the early 17th century and constructed of limestone, shares a similar design to the Trotman memorial. It features a thick top, squared edges with moulded ends, and circular panels on the north and south sides. Inscriptions are illegible and the tomb is immediately west of the Turner memorial.
The fifth chest tomb, from the early 18th century and made of limestone, has a thick moulded top, cavetto base, quarter balusters, and baroque cartouches, with a square sunk panel containing egg and dart on the north side alongside a cartouche on the south. Its inscriptions are not legible, and it is positioned approximately 3 metres northwest of the northwest corner of the north aisle.
The sixth chest tomb, also from the early 18th century, is constructed of limestone and exhibits a cyma top, cavetto base, baroque lyre ends, and rectangular panels, including fine carved hanging drapes on the north side. The inscriptions are illegible. This tomb is centrally located within a subgroup of three memorials.
The seventh and most westerly chest tomb, dating to the early 18th century and made of limestone, features a heavy cyma top, cavetto base, lyre ends, baroque decoration including cartouches on both north and south sides. It leans significantly and is located approximately 7.5 metres north of the northwest corner of the tower.
This is an especially significant group of memorials due to their architectural and historical importance.
