Description
Three monuments are located in the churchyard, approximately 6 to 8 meters north of the west end of the vestry at the Church of St. Peter. These monuments consist of two short chest tombs and one pedestal tomb, dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century.
The southernmost monument is a pedestal tomb for James Barrett, who died in 1818, and his wife, who died in 1837, although the latter date is more likely for the monument itself. It features a square reeded dome that sweeps down to a step, with a moulded edge on the lid and a raised rim on the rectangular sides. The corners have plain circular columns without capitals or bases, and there is a plain plinth. This tomb is nearly identical to that of J. Barrett, who died in 1841.
The north-western monument belongs to John Burnett, who died in 1781. It has a flat lid with a moulded edge and indented corners. The sides and ends are sunk to the edge of the rectangle, with heavily scalloped corners, and the ends are indented. The moulded plinth is now sunk into the ground, and some italic lettering is visible, including a long 'S', with earlier deaths recorded.
The north-eastern monument is for Eliza, the wife of John Burnett, who died in 1793. It features a flat lid with a moulded edge and slightly indented corners. The north side has a fielded panel with a shaped head and egg and dart moulding, while the south side has a rectangular panel with similar moulding. The ends have pilasters, with a sunk circle on the stem at the west end and an urn at the east end, along with a moulded base.
