Description
The Wyatt and Nichol Family Graves are located in the churchyard of St Mary's. The main grave features large, parallel recumbent polished red granite slabs with hipped tops, adorned with a Byzantine cross in the space between them. The inscriptions honor Eleanor Nichol, who died in 1850, her daughter who also died in 1850, and other family members. This grave is set on a stone plinth and is surrounded by an elaborate cast-iron railing. The railing has barley-sugar twist uprights that support paterae and fluted finials, along with openwork scrolls featuring Romanesque-style foliage finials and cresting on the horizontal panels and rails. It should be noted that the ironwork is partly broken along the southern side as of November 1989.
To the north, there is a single recumbent grey granite slab with a hipped top and a stone plinth. The inscriptions commemorate William Henry Nichol, who died in 1874, and Elizabeth Nichol, who died in 1913. This grave has a lower ironwork enclosure with openwork, cusped panels that feature finials at the center of the quatrefoils, and polygonal uprights at the corners topped with ball finials. The top rail and northern side of this enclosure are badly broken as of November 1989.
To the south, there is another single recumbent polished red granite slab with chamfered edges, which bears a plain white stone cross. The indistinct lettering indicates that it marks the resting place of Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt, Knight, born on 28 July 1820 and died on 21 May 1877. His wife is commemorated on the northern side of this monument, which is signed "T H W" (Thomas Henry Wyatt). The lower ironwork enclosure features slender scrolls in a Romanesque style, with panels between polygonal uprights that have extravagant foliage or petal designs on twisted bud finials and pendant foliage on the uprights.
