Description
TQ 67 41 BRENCHLEY HIGH STREET, BRENCHLEY (south side) 15/115 Hooker memorial immediately west of the north transept of the Church of All Saints GV II
Memorial in the form of a cruciform chest. Probably 1860s. Portland stone- Early English style. A large, coped, cruciform chest with a foliated cross carved in relief on the top and an oversailing lid with an order of stiff-leaf foliage carved below it. The sides of the chest are decorated with blind trefoil-headed arcading on shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. Inscriptions, the earliest dated 1830, commemorate members of the Hooker family.
A rather unusual and ambitious Gothic Revival design in an outstanding churchyard.
