Description
The Cox Monument is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 10 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. It dates from the 18th century and is made of Ham stone with Keinton stone panels. The monument features a moulded plinth and bolection-mould panels on the flanks and ends, which are segmentally curved. There is no frieze, and it has cornice-moulded coving leading to a shaped hip top. The tomb commemorates Richard Cox, who died in 1688, and Betty Cox, who died in 1720. The incised lettering, which is of fine quality, appears to date from the later period.
