Description


TQ 64 SW PEMBURY OLD CHURCH ROAD

5/405 Row of 3 Driver headstones
approx 6m south of the
tower of the Old Church of
St Peter
GV II


Row of 3 headstones. Dated between 1709 and 1780 in memory of members of the
Driver family. All are upright sandstone slabs with curvilinear shaped heads
standing between approx 500mm and lm high. All are inscribed with Roman serif
upper and lower case lettering and the latest (the left one in memory of
Elizabeth Driver) includes italics. The left one is the tallest. It has a
double head each carved with a winged cherubs head in profile facing the
other. The inscription is very worn. It was erected in memory of Elizabeth
Driver but the legible date of 1780 may refer to one of her relation's death.
The centre headstone also has a double head. The front is recessed and each
head has an inscribed floral pattern. The inscription records the death of
Robert Driver in 1709. The right headstone has a recessed front and it
records the death of another Robert Driver in 1719.
