Description
The Pearce Monument is a pedestal tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 1.5 meters east of the south-east corner of the chancel at the Church of St Catherine. It commemorates W.

It has a cable moulding, and the top sweeps down to a step with a ledge and a moulded edge. There is a plain cornice with cable moulding and raised panels in a different stone on each face, surrounded by a raised, moulded edge. The monument has a moulded plinth and paving, which originally included iron railings. The north face has inscriptions that record earlier deaths.
