Description
The Hood family monument is a chest tomb located 24 metres south of the nave of the Church of St. Leonard. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century and is made of dressed stone. The tomb features an oblong chest resting on a moulded plinth, with an entablature that includes triglyphs, guttae, and a dentil cornice. The slab top has fluted ends and scroll decoration. The earliest inscription on the monument is for John Periam of Wootton House, dated 1788, although the monument is primarily dedicated to the Hood family. It also includes inscriptions for Captain Alexander Hood from 1798 and Admiral Lord Hood of Avalon, along with additional 19th-century inscriptions.
