Description
The John Taylor chest tomb is located in the churchyard about 4 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary. This 18th-century chest tomb is made of Ham stone and features lias-panels. It has a ledger top with a moulded cornice, a frieze decorated with quatrefoils, a moulded architrave, fluted columns, and swags of fruit or ribbands. The spandrels are adorned with shallow arches that have winged cherub heads. The entire structure is significantly eroded, sunk, and leaning southwards. Inscription in fine 18th-century copperplate script appears on all faces, but only one complete inscription, that of John Taylor, is clearly distinguishable.
