Description
The Pollard chest tomb, dating from the 17th century, is located in the churchyard about 24 metres south of the porch of the Church of St Mary. It is made of Ham stone and features a flat top with a strongly moulded cyma recta cornice. The plinth is not visible as the tomb is partially sunk. The east face displays an hourglass, while the west side has a paterae shape. The south face features raised shields, which were largely obscured by ivy at the time of the survey in August 1983. The north face has well-crafted lettering inscribed to Dorothy Pollard. The top of the tomb is also inscribed below an incised shield set in an arcade, although this inscription is no longer legible. This tomb is a striking example and contributes to a notable group of memorials in the churchyard.
