Radford headstone approx 10m east of north aisle of church of st. Mary. Headstone. Dated 1865 in memory of christian illey radford. Bath stone and volcanic stone enriched with polychrome mosaic. Upright stone standing approximately 0.9 metres high. Gothic style. It comprises a tapering shaft with round head with moulded edges. It stands on a volcanic stone base which stops the moulded surround on either side. The head has a raised circle enclosing a raised cross pommee in outline which contains geometric patterns of inlaid polychrome mosaic. The shaft is inscribed with gothic lettering and records the death of christian illey radford in 1865. The lettering is very worn although some retain traces of red paint. This is one of a series of unusual headstones in the churchyard which are distinguished by their use of polychrome mosaic. They are obviously the result of the rev w t a radford's interest in craftmanship (doe).
