Description
The Mary Lepel monument is located in the churchyard about 50 meters southeast of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. This headstone and slab, dated 1912, is likely the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens. It is made of dressed stone and features an aediculated Classical style. The monument includes a plinth and panelled pilasters that support an open segmental pediment. In the center, there is a recessed panel with a relief of a muse and Latin text, above another recessed panel adorned with a swag. The horizontal slab at ground level bears a memorial inscription filled with lead.
