Description
The Hilborne monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 4 metres southwest of the porch of the Church of All Saints. It is probably from the early 17th century and is made of Ham stone with lias stone panels. The tomb features a moulded stone plinth and panelled sides, with two panels on each side. It has plain beaded pilasters and a heavily carved cartouche of arms on the east end. The design includes a plain frieze, deeply moulded coving, and a shallow hipped top. The panels may have been later insertions from the 18th century, as they are finely chiselled with oval panels, floral corners, and fine script lettering. The monument commemorates Thomas Hilborne, who died in 1629, as well as other family members who died in 1669, 1678, and 1722.
