SY6677NW PORTLAND ROAD, Wyke Regis 873-1/29/638 (West side) Fooks, Mackenzie and Walis monuments approx 3m NW of Church of All Saints
GV II
3 headstones. 1681,1769 and 1832. Portland stone. The 3 monuments lie in a straight row, the nearest being approx 3.5m from the NW corner of the tower, and spreading approx 2.5m overall. From S to N: (i) To James Mackenzie, d.1769. A bold scrolled head embraces a modelled upper part with putti, a skull and bones. The inscription is on a plain panel below; (ii) To John Isles Fooks, d.1832. A plain round-headed stone with clear inscription; (iii) To Elizabeth, wife of Henry Walis (sic), d.1681. A thick stone with bold high relief carving of a skull with a heart in the mouth, flanked by cornucopiae and leaf decoration. Below this the stone has slightly raised margins, with a flat segmental top band carried on square responds to side 'pilasters'. The sunk panel has an inscription in capitals, filling the space, and with wayward spacing. On the head band is the motto 'O DEATH WHERE IS THY STING', which has been scratched over in recent times. The stone is partly sunk, and the inscription may continue below the ground; it is the earliest in-situ monument identified in the churchyard.
