Description
Three monuments are located in the churchyard, approximately 6 to 8 meters north of the east end of the vestry at the Church of St. Peter. These monuments consist of chest and pedestal tombs dating from the late 18th century to the second quarter of the 19th century, made of stone.
The easternmost monument is dedicated to James Barrett, who died in 1833. It features a rectangular dome with a gadrooned base that sweeps to a moulding and step, topped with a flat lid that has moulded edges and slightly indented corners on the long sides. The north side has a raised circle, while the south side has a square with scalloped corners, both adorned with corner paterae. The ends have rectangular pilasters with alternating fluting and paterae at the capitals, a raised square panel on the west end, and a circle of twigs and leaves on the east. It has a moulded base set on paving at ground level.
The southernmost monument is a pedestal tomb for J. Barrett, who died in 1841. It features a ball on a square base and a reeded dome that sweeps down to a step, with a moulded edge on the lid. The sides have a raised rim around a rectangular panel, and the plain circular corner columns lack capitals or bases. It also has a moulded plinth and a later inscription.
The northernmost monument is a chest tomb for John Smith and his wife, who died in 1797 or 1798. It has a flat lid with a moulded edge and slightly indented corners on the long sides. The sides are framed with raised panels, and the ends have pilasters with egg and dart moulding at the capitals, along with a fielded panel stem and end fielded panels on the returns. It also features a moulded base.
