Description
The Gooden monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 8 metres east-south-east of the porch of the Church of All Saints. It dates from the 17th century and is made of Ham stone. The base is buried, and it features plain sides and ends with a cyma-recta coving leading to a heavy flat top. There is a coat of arms on the east end of the tomb. The monument commemorates John Gooden or Goodden, although the date is not readable; he is possibly the builder of The Manor House on Church Street, constructed in 1679.
