Description
Four Newman monuments are located in the churchyard, about 10 meters west of the northwest corner of the Church of St Mary. These monuments date from 1810 to 1862 and are made of stone. The group includes one chest tomb, one pedestal, and two ledger slabs.
The chest tomb is dedicated to William Newman, who died in 1810. It features a flat lid with a moulded edge and slightly indented corners, along with raised ovals on the sides and a plain edge. The south side displays a vine scroll, while the north side has a willow design. The ends of the tomb have wide pilasters and an egg and dart frieze, with three flowers below and drapery over a sunk panel on the east end. An urn with inverted torches is positioned behind on the west side, and the tomb rests on a plinth with a moulded top.
To the west of the chest tomb is a raised flat slab commemorating Elizabeth Newman, who died in 1842, featuring good lettering in part italic. North of the chest tomb is a pedestal tomb for various Newman children who died between 1820 and 1849. This tomb has a swept top with a moulded edge, a blocking course, and a slight slope to the lid's moulded edge. The corners are slightly indented, and each side has a plain frieze with a raised rectangular panel that has a sunk margin and scalloped corners, all resting on a moulded base.
To the east of the pedestal tomb is a flat slab for Jeremiah Newman, who died in 1862, with bold capital letters. Each of the four monuments is set on flat paving and was originally surrounded by iron railings, forming an interesting family group.
