NORTH CERNEY NORTH CERNEY VILLAGE SP01 075 - 02 075 16/214 Group of 35 C17-C18 monuments in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, west of the path to Church Cottage as far as the Henry Baldwin monument

GV II

Group of 5 chest tombs and 30 headstones (some associated with flat stone slabs and footstones). Limestone. a) Chest tomb with lyre-shaped ends, c3m south of the porch to William Cherington, died 1696 and Sarah Cherington, died 1760. Moulded plinth with oval inscription panel to William Cherington surrounded by finely executed foliate scrollwork on the north side; foliate decoration to the sides of the lyre- shaped ends. Plain rectangular inscription panel to Sarah Cherington on the south side flanked by rectangular slabs decorated with representations of circular vases of flowers in relief; foliate decoration to the sides of the lyre-shaped ends. Cherub's head above a small cartouche at the east end; two cornucopias below the cartouche. Cherub's head and cartouche at the west end. Thick capping with moulded margin.

Three flat stone slabs one with headstone and footstone, one with a headstone immediately to the south of the last.

b) Chest tomb to Richard Jordan, died 1669 immediately to the south of the flat stone slabs. Flat-chamfered plinth; illegible inscription panel on the north side. Inscription to Richard Jordan on the south side. Thick capping with flat- chamfered margin.

c) Chest tomb c0.5m west of the last to members of the Stephens family of Woodmancote. Late C18. Moulded plinth, raised sunken inscription panels on the north and south sides, sunken inscription panels at the ends. Capping with moulded margin and moulded and hipped upper capping stone.

Thirty late C17-early, mid and late C18 headstones, between the last and the Henry Baldwin chest tomb (q.v.). The late C17- early C18 headstones tend to be of simple design e.g. pair of segmental-headed headstones c3m west of the Stephens family chest tomb which are c0.5m in height. Left-hand headstone to Joseph, son of Thomas Kilby, with date 1695. Right-hand headstone dated 1703, both have simple sunken inscription panels with almost flat double scrolls at the top.

The mid C18 headstones vary in size but tend to be more ornate and include cherub's heads, hanging drapery; open bible, skull; winged skull and hourglass and floral motifs, e.g. the pair of headstones c0.5m south-west of the Stephens family chest tomb (q.v.). Left-hand headstone tb Mary ----, including date 1730; top of stone comprises a cherub's head holding an open bible; festoon below the bible; hanging drapery and fruit and flowers either side of the inscription panel. Right-hand headstone with an illegible oval inscription panel with a raised foliate margin, carved head holding a skull at the top flanked by cornucopias and hanging drapery. The motifs decorating these monuments are carved to give an almost 3-dimensional quality unlike the motifs decorating the late C18 headstones in the group.

The late C18 headstones vary less in their size and decoration having cherub's heads at the top and inscription panels with cartouche-like surrounds.

Chest tomb and pedestal tomb at the western edge of the group of monuments:-

d) Chest tomb to Henry, son of Henry and Eleanor Baldwin, died 1756 and other members of their family. Fielded inscription panel flanked by fielded marginal panels on the north side. Fielded inscription panels at the ends. Capping stone with moulded margin and a rectangular upper capping stone.

e) Pedestal monument to Ann, wife of John Blake c0.5m to the south of the latter. Moulded plinth with inset corners; fielded inscription panels set back either side; similar but unused inscription panels on the other three sides. Moulded and stepped pyramidal capping. (Capping in a poor state of repair at the time of resurvey - November 1986). (Rev.d A.J.C. Turner, Record of Monuments dating from before 1850 in the Churchyard of the Church of All Saints, North Cerney, 1971).
