Description

The Rendell Altar Tomb, located in the churchyard 10 metres south-west of the south-west corner of the tower of the Church of Saint Martin of Tours, was built in 1840. It is made of Portland stone and measures approximately 0.75 metre square and 1.2 metres high. The tomb features a moulded base and has one fielded panel on each face, topped with a gabled design that includes anthemion corner acroteria. It commemorates Israel Rendell, who died in 1840 and was the founder of the twine works in East Street and the builder of Milbrook House, among other family members. The tomb is surrounded by a paved area with a 150mm high kerb, on which are set spear-headed wrought iron railings, featuring occasional urn finials.
