Group of Three Monuments in Churchyard, About 3 Metres South of South Chapel, Church of All Saints

This listing describes a group of three monuments located in the churchyard, approximately 3 metres south of the south chapel of the Church of All Saints.

The first monument is a chest tomb, known as the French monument, dating from the early 19th century and made of Ham stone. Its base is buried, and it features one panel on each face. The ends are adorned with incised Greek key ornament, while the flanks have incised panels with reverse curves at the corners. It has linenfold panelled pilasters on all faces and a moulding coving that projects widely, topped with a shallow hipped design. This monument commemorates William French, although no death date is provided.

The second monument, also a French monument, is another chest tomb from the 18th century, also made of Ham stone. Its base is buried as well, with one panel on each end and two panels on each flank. It is decorated with fluted Ionic pilasters on each face and has a moulded coving leading to a shallow hipped top with rounded edges. This monument commemorates John French, whose death date is not specified, and his wife, who died in 1723.

The third monument is an unidentified tombstone from the late 17th century, made of Ham stone and measuring about 400mm wide, 600mm high, and 100mm thick. It has a chamfered back and a shouldered semi-circular arched top, framed with dentils and featuring imposts and a keystone. This tombstone commemorates Agnes, the wife of an unnamed individual, who died in 1698.
