Description
Winchcombe and one unidentified monument are located approximately 25 meters north of the north aisle in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary.
The first monument is a chest tomb from the early to mid 18th century, made of limestone. It features a flat table with a cavetto mould, lyre ends adorned with a cartouche, and a bolection mould panel with floral drops on the north side, as well as a bolection moulded fielded panel on the south side, all resting on a wide cavetto base. Some lettering can be found on the south side, but it is mostly illegible. An 1879 survey mentions Edwin Winchcombe, a clothier, who died in 1739, although the overall design appears to be about twenty years older. This tomb stands alone, separated from other monuments in the area.
The second monument is a small footstone located about 3 meters north of the chest tomb. It likely dates from the late 17th century and is a small stone featuring attractive scrolls, flanked by small 'Ionic' colonettes, and has a deep panel. A date of 1818 is visible, but the stone is certainly much older than this.
