St. Mary
GV II
4 chest tombs. Late C17, 1705, 1721 and early C18. Marlstone and limestone. The
most northerly, a rectangular marlstone chest with deeply-projecting moulded
base and cover, has a small fielded inscription panel on each side, a shield on
one end, and at the other a surround of drapery enclosing the raised legend
"WL/1705". The inscriptions are in Latin and commemorate William, Bishop of
Llandaff, formerly Vicar of Adderbury. The next, a plain marlstone chest with
shallow incised panels and a moulded base and cover, is probably early C18, but
the inscription on the cover is largely illegible. The late-C17 limestone chest,
1 metre east of the south-east buttress, has deep moulded base and cover, and
has one side and one end decorated with square panels divided by a central
baluster in relief; the other end has an inscription panel, now illegible. To
east of it is a rectangular marlstone chest with moulded base and cover, square
recessed corner balusters and fielded inscription panels; the earliest
inscription commemorates John Lovesey (d.1721).
