Willis Family Monument

The Willis Family Monument is a funerary monument dated 1765, carved from limestone. It features a rustic classical design, taking the form of a rectangular chest with canted ends and a frieze of acanthus leaves at the top. The monument has worn inscription panels that commemorate members of the Willis family on all four faces, each set within decorative frames and adorned with carved drapery hanging down the sides. Above the larger panels on the north and south sides, there are relief sculptures of cherubs, while cherub heads are positioned above the narrower side panels. The chest is topped by a square, fluted column with an embellished Corinthian capital. This column has niches on its north and south sides, each containing a cherub, and features floral decoration on the west and east sides. It is capped with a decorative flaming urn.
