Description
The Banbery monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, 8 metres northeast of the chancel of the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It dates from the 17th century and is made of Ham stone. The base is buried, and the tomb features plain flanks and ends with incised panels. Each end has a shouldered semi-circular arch head, and there are two on the north flank, with a face or skull depicted between them and rudimentary pilasters. The heavy flat top is adorned with a cyma recta cove moulding. This monument commemorates Richard Banbery, who died in 1661.
