moulded surrounds and cherubs in the upper spandrels, a lid with a prominent
reeded edge and a large gadrooned urn in the centre; inscriptions in the panels
on the north and west sides. The chest approx. 1 metre south of this,
commemorating Ann Cooper, wife of Thomas Cooper, (d. 1782), is rectangular,
mounted on a stone base, and has a moulded plinth, corner pilasters with cabled
fluting, fielded side and end panels (inscription on the north side), and a lid with
a moulded edge. The chest approx. 1 metre north, commemorating Hannah, wife
of George Allen (d. 1806), also rectangular, is mounted on 2 steps with railing
sockets in the lower, and has a moulded plinth, pilaster strips with horizontal
fluting, fielded side and end panels (inscription on the north side), and a lid with
