TQ 67 41 BRENCHLEY HIGH STREET, BRENCHLEY (south side) 15/106 Matthew Diamond headstone about llm south west of the west door of the Church of All Saints GV II
Headstone. 1676. Freestone. Shouldered headstone with a round-headed arched head. The inscription commemorates Matthew Diamond, died 1670. Rustic carving in relief in the head includes an hourglass, scythe and head. Below the inscription the words "Don by Robert Diamond, Son of Matthew Diamond ano domi 1676". The attribution is unusual at this date, suggesting a tradition in which relatives (either professional or amateur masons) made headstones for members of their family.
