Description
The Clarke monument is a chest tomb located about 2.5 meters south of the tower of the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury in Lovington. It dates from the late 17th century and is made of Doulting stone. The tomb features a moulded base, which is mostly buried, and has keystoned and dentilled semi-circular arched panels—one at each end and two on each side. These panels are flanked by plain slim pilasters that have impost blocks. The hipped top is adorned with deep cyma-recta coving. The monument commemorates members of the Clarke family, although the inscriptions are badly worn, with one date appearing to be 167-.
