Description
The tomb of the Fountaine family is located in the churchyard and dates from the early 19th century. It is made of stone and features a rectangular block shape with inscription panels on each side, along with corner recesses that have Doric columns. The tomb has a moulded base and a flat cornice top adorned with an urn. The earliest inscriptions commemorate Ann Fountaine, who died in 1802, and Bernard Fountaine, who died in 1811. Additional inscriptions date from 1811, 1870, and 1905. Surrounding the tomb is an elegant wrought iron railing that includes interlace ornament, scrolled spearhead finials, and fluted corner shafts topped with urn finials.
