Description
The Allen and Wills monuments are two chest tombs located about one metre south-east of the chancel in the churchyard of the Church of St George. They date from the late 18th century and are made of Ham stone.

It has a moulded plinth, one fielded panel on each face, and three-panel pilasters on the flanks, with no frieze. It similarly features a moulded coving on the hipped top with rounded leading edges and commemorates Thomas Wills, who died in 1773.
