Description


PAINSWICK NEW STREET
SO 8609 (part)
(south-east side)
9/198 Two Herbert and one
unidentified monuments
c.25 m north of the tower
in churchyard of the
Church of St Mary

GV II

Two pedestal tombs and one headstone.

(a) An inverted truncated pyramid. Mid to late c19. Sandstone. Low-pitched
pyramidal top, corner pilasters with incised Greek key ornament, moulded base on
square slab to chamfered sub-base on a platform shared with adjoining monument
(b). Some incised lettering all badly eroded, except to east, records Samuel
Herbert, 1887. The 1879 survey gives Edmund Herbert, Esquire, 1841, and the
design of the monument is more likely to be of that than the later date.

(b) Oblong pedestal, late C18, Limestone. Square cyma pyramidal capping to
moulded edge, inset corners, moulded frieze; elliptical panels east and west,
fielded panels north and south, moulded base on platform shared with (a). Inset
bronze tablets on 3 sides. South side has Edmund Herbert, 1772. He was a cord-
wainer.

(c) Headstone. C18. Limestone. Cambered head, panel with raised top, flanked
by two cherub heads and decorative drops. Centre of panel bolstered. Not legi-
ble. Stone lies north of the chest tombs and immediately adjoining path from
lychgate to north gate.
