GV II
Four headstones. C17-C19. Stone or slate. The stones of special interest are scattered, but contained in 3 parallel rows which lie to the S of the S aisle, and E of the S porch of the church; they are described from N to S, in each row, and from W to E. (i) In first row, approx 2m from aisle wall, to Walter Fry, d.1749. In friable stone, to haunched arched head, the inscription badly eroded. (ii) Immediately S of the last. To David Knight, d.1748. Friable stone, haunched arched head. There is an inscribed verse below the name and date. (iii) At the end of this line, adjoining the churchyard boundary wall. To Elizabeth Squier (sic), d.164-. A very thin square-headed stone, a portion broken off, top left. The inscription, in fine serif capitals, is still very distinct and well preserved. This is the earliest monument recorded in the churchyard. (iv) Penultimate stone in this row. To Philip Squire, d.1786. A well-preserved slate headstone with haunched arched head and raised margin. A naive cherub head with stylised wings is set above an oval panel with scalloped surround, and finely incised inscription, which faces E.
