Description
The Harred family chest tomb, located about 2 meters south of the porch of the Church of the Holy Cross, dates from the mid-18th century and is constructed from Ham stone. It features a ledger top, a moulded cornice, a moulded plinth, and raised and fielded panels. The end pilasters are divided vertically into three panels and are adorned with winged cherub heads on the north and south faces. The west end displays a skull and crossbones, while the east end features a pair of hearts with crossed arrows carved in high relief. The north side is inscribed to Thomas Harred, who died in 1769, and the south side, which is very soft and decayed, is inscribed to Mary, his wife, who also died in 1769. This tomb is a fine example and an interesting variant on a standard 18th-century design.
