Description
The Patch monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, about 2 metres south-east of the porch of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. It dates from the late 17th century but has been reused for later burials. The tomb is made of Ham stone and features a moulded plinth with baluster-moulded ends and short returns along the flanks. The sides have single panels framed with egg-and-dart moulding, and there is no frieze. The heavy hipped top has deep moulded coving and rounded leading edges. This monument commemorates various members of the Patch family, with the earliest noted being Edward Patch, who died in 1817.
