859-1/6/361 Banaster monument approx. 10m SE of
hedge to car park, adjoining SW path
GV II
Chest tomb, earliest date 1799, but inscriptions cover period
to 1858. Sandstone. Includes WILLIAM BANASTER, 1802, but is
mainly to the 12 children of WILLIAM AND SARAH BANASTER, from
1799 to 1836. Flat ledger to moulded edges, raise panels long
sides, and inset ends with cornice and base mould, all set to
moulded base and large platform, formerly railed. Although
very fine inscriptions remain legible, the monument is
unstable and beginning to split apart. It is of interest not
only as a monument, but for the element of social history
contained in the inscriptions. Seven of the child deaths were
in infancy.
