Description
This is a group of five chest tombs located approximately 6 meters south of the Cartland memorial in Tewkesbury's Abbey churchyard. The tombs date from the 18th and 19th centuries and extend about 8 meters from north to south.
Starting from the north, the first tomb is an unidentified upright chest from the mid-19th century made of sandstone. It features a flat ledger with cyma edges on plain panels and inset ends, topped with a moulded cornice and base, resting on a moulded base and platform. The inscription is very worn.
The second tomb is also an upright chest, with the earliest decipherable date being 1848, likely belonging to E. Dumble, who died in that year. This tomb is made of sandstone and has a flat ledger with cavetto-mould edges, raised square panels on the sides, and inset ends with a moulded cornice and base, set on a moulded base and plain platform. It shows signs of wear.
The third tomb is similar to the second and is dedicated to Mary Dumble, who died in 1828. It is also made of sandstone and features a flat ledger with cavetto-mould edges, raised square panels on the sides, and inset ends with a moulded cornice and base, resting on a cavetto-mould base and plain platform. This tomb also carries an inscription for Jonathan Dumble, who died in 1784, although its style suggests it is an early 19th-century monument.
The fourth tomb is a chest tomb from the late 18th or early 19th century, with the only decipherable date being 1827 for Thos Elliott. It has a flat limestone ledger with moulded edges on plain sides, featuring some brick repairs, and is set on a splayed base.
The fifth tomb, located approximately 3 meters south of the fourth, is a large chest tomb dedicated to Mary Mew of Twyning, who died in 1771. It has a sandstone ledger on a limestone chest, featuring a flat ledger with cavetto edges, a cartouche panel to the north with a fine incised inscription, twin high relief cherubs to the west in a sunk panel with a moulded edge, a worn sunk panel to the east, and a plain fielded side to the south, all resting on a moulded base.
