Description
TQ 67 41 BRENCHLEY HIGH STREET, BRENCHLEY (south side) 15/112 Williams Gibbons headstone about 9m south of the south aisle of the Church of All Saints GV II
Headstone. Early C18. Freestone. Shouldered headstone with scrolled corners and a round-headed arched head with a relief carving of a cherub. The inscription commemorates William Gibbons of the Parsonage, died 1716. Carved below are the words "Done by Ambrose Gibbons and John Fuggle Grandsons". The attribution is unusual at this date, although a late C17 headstone in the churchyard has a similar inscription, suggesting a tradition whereby relatives (either professional or amateur masons) made headstones for members of their family.
