Description
The Brone monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 3 metres west of the nave of the Church of St. Peter. It dates from the 17th century and is made of Ham stone. The tomb features a moulded base and has semi-circular-arched panels adorned with dentilling and keystones, with one panel at each end and two on each side. The flanks are accented by slightly fluted pilasters, and there is no frieze. The heavy flat top is finished with cyma-recta coving. The monument commemorates Hugh Brone, although the date is not legible.
