Description
A group of four monuments is located in the churchyard about one metre north of the north chapel of the Church of St George.
The first monument, the most easterly and situated opposite the vestry door, is an early 19th-century chest tomb made of Ham stone. Its base is buried, featuring one plain panel on each face, fluted corner pilasters, and a frieze. It has a moulded roving leading to a shallow hipped top with rounded leading edges and commemorates Joseph Feltham, who died in 1810.
The second monument, located under the chapel window, is a late 17th-century chest tomb, also made of Ham stone. Its base is buried and it has ovolo-mould panels, one on each end and two on each flank. The west end displays the carved arms of Poulett, and it features cyma-recta coving leading to a heavy flat top. This tomb commemorates Mary, who died in 1688, and William Poulett, who died in 1699.
The third monument, also a late 17th-century chest tomb of Ham stone, has a buried base and ovolo-mould panels, one on each end and two on each flank, with fluted pilasters on the flanks. It has cyma-recta coving leading to a heavy flat top and commemorates William Poulett, who died in 1691.
The fourth and most westerly monument is an 18th-century chest tomb made of Ham stone. Its base is buried and it features one fielded panel on each face with single-panel pilasters on the flanks, lacking a frieze. It has moulded coving leading to a hipped top with rounded leading edges, though the inscription is badly worn.
