7/32 Group of 3 Hurley Memorials
- approximately 7 metres south-
east of the chancel of the Church
of St Winifred
GV II
3 churchyard monuments in memory of members of the Hurley family. All are mid C18
and Beerstone ashlar. A chest tomb is flanked by headstones, 1 to north and 1 to
south.
The northern headstone stands approximately 700 millimetres high and has a shaped
head (part has broken off). The front has a moulded frame and the head has a carved
cherubs head flanked by crossbones and a carved open book containing a Biblical
quotation. The main inscription is Roman serif upper and lower case lettering and
records the death of Sarah Hurley in 1765. The southern headstone is leaning. If
upright it would be approximately 600 millimetres high. It is similar but simpler
than the northern headstone and the inscription is illegible. The chest tomb has
plain sides and base and a soffit-moulded flat lid and the south side includes an
interesting epithet. It records the death of John Hurley in 1755. He was a customs
officer and died by falling from a cliff whilst trying to extinguish a smugglers
beacon.
