Description
The Samuel Trotman monument is a pedestal tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 8 metres north of the tower of the Church of St. James. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of sandstone. The tomb has a square shape with recessed corners and features alternating raised oval and rectangular side inscription panels. It includes a fluted frieze adorned with paterae, a shallow domical top, and a moulded pedestal base. Although the inscriptions are now illegible, the tomb is known to commemorate Sam Trotman, who was a trumpeter in the Dursley Yeomanry and the landlord of the Golden Hart Inn on Long Street.
