Description
A group of three chest tombs from the 18th century is located about 8 metres south of the tower of the Church of All Saints in Merriott.
The first monument, an unidentified chest tomb, is situated approximately 4 metres south of the tower. It is made of Ham stone and features a moulded plinth, with one fielded panel on each face and three-panel pilasters on the flanks. The shallow hipped top has rounded leading edges, but the inscription is illegible.
The second monument is the Rendall monument, located about 8 metres south of the tower. This chest tomb is also constructed from Ham stone and shares similar design elements, including a moulded plinth, one fielded panel on each face, and three-panel pilasters on the flanks. It commemorates Simon Rendall, who died in 1819, along with others.
The third monument, known as the Scott monument, is positioned about 3 metres east of the Rendall monument. This chest tomb, made of Ham stone, has a step base, a moulded plinth, one fielded panel on each face, and three-panel pilasters on the flanks. It commemorates Joan Scott, who died in 1771, and others.
