The memorial is inscribed to James Rennie of Maindeee Park and various of his family. He died in 1864 and it seems likely that the memorial dates from then. The neo-classical style is similar to the work of H E Goodridge who also died in 1864 and it could be by his son A S Goodridge who carried on the practice in Bath.
The memorial is made of polished red granite. A base of three square steps rises to a battered plinth. The main shaft tapers and has a moulded base, a main section with raised panels with incised lettering, a firieze of three balls, a cyma recta cornice, a lotus leaf cap and a finial of uncertain form which is presently removed into a nearby bush.
Included as an exceptionally fine monument from 1864 having group value with the Church of The Holy Trinity.
