Description
The Hext monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 14 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Mary Magdalene. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of Ham stone. The tomb features a moulded plinth and panelled sides adorned with fluted Ionic pilasters, with one pilaster at each end and two on each flank. There is no frieze, and the hipped top has moulded coving with rounded leading edges. The tomb is set within an area defined by low stone kerbing and commemorates Mary, the wife of Philip Hext, who died in 1826, along with other family members.
