Description
The Gapper and Bandle monuments are located in the churchyard about 8 metres south of the chancel door of the Church of St Stephen. There are two chest tombs:
(a) The Gapper monument, dating from the early 19th century, is made of Ham stone and features a moulded base with fielded panels, one on each end and two on each side, flanked by fluted pilasters. It has a moulded coving on a shallow hipped top with rounded leading edges. This tomb commemorates Francis Gapper, who died in 1803, along with others.
(b) The Bandle monument, from the early 17th century, is also made of Ham stone. Its base is buried, and it has plain sides and flanks, with a cyma-recta coving leading to a heavy flat top. This tomb commemorates John Bandle, a yeoman who died in 1611.
