Description


WEYMOUTH

SY6683 MILL STREET, Broadwey 873-1/8/442 (North side) Firth monument and railings approx. 6m east of Church of St Nicholas

GV II

Chest tomb enclosed by cast-iron railings. The monument lies immediately adjacent to the churchyard wall bounding the Dorchester Road. Portland stone. To Lieutenant Firth, of the 70th Foot, d.1828. A simple Regency chest, similar to the Bartlett monument (qv), but with ovolo-mould edge to the ledger slab, fluted pilasters to the corners, and raised oval inscription panel with sunk tympana containing carved fans. The chest is enclosed by a low railing in Gothic design, with pinnacled standards, set to a weathered stone plinth. The railings are badly rusted, but otherwise remain complete.
