GV II

Pedestal tomb. Early C19. Greek Revival style. Square plan cuboid, each side
carved in low relief with Greek sarcophagus bearing inscription, surmounted by
classical urn half covered in drapery; fluted frieze with paterae; concave
capping with cross gabled finial. South inscription: "Sacred to the Memory of/
Eliza Daughter of/ Thomas and Priscilla Beavan/ of Wood-Eaves in the parish/
of Eardisley in this county/ who departed this Life/ XXIX November MDCCCXII/
Aged V years and VI months". Also inscriptions on other faces. This is a
good example of stone masonry and enhances the setting of the church; it
contributes to the group value of the other memorials in the churchyard.
