GREAT RISSINGTON GREAT RISSINGTON VILLAGE SP 1917-2017 9/158 Row of 8 monuments in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist c6m west of the David Ansell monument GV II Row of 8 headstones. Limestone. Mid-late C18. The earlier headstones in the group have segmental heads, the later have canted heads. All 8 have winged cherubs' heads, varying in detail, above their inscription plaques. The decoration on the earlier headstones tends to be in bolder relief than that on the later. The most notable headstones in the group are that second from the left, which has a small winged cherub's head, with wings folded down, flanked by open bibles at the top, and the headstone fourth from the left (the tallest in the group) which has a small winged cherub's head with down-folded wings at the top, flanked by cherubs each holding a trumpet. The sunken segmental-headed inscription plaque includes the date 1746 and is flanked by raised margins with stiff foliate decoration. The inscriptions are mostly illegible but that at the far right-hand end is to Peter (?)Cambray, died 1764. The headstone third from the right-hand end is to Robert Cambray, died 1772.
