Description
The Danyell monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 0.5 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury. It dates from the early 17th century and is made of Doulting stone. The tomb features a moulded plinth on a slab base, with semi-circular arched panels—one at each end and two on each side—adorned with fluted Ionic pilasters. It has an elaborately detailed deep frieze on a dentil course, decorated with scrollwork, and a shallow cove moulding leading to a heavy, steeply pitched hipped top. The monument commemorates several members of the Danyell family, with inscriptions that are worn, but one on the north side includes the date of 1623.
