What is recorded here
Two free-standing polished granite monuments, erected c.1930, to graves in graveyard to front (south) of former Broomfield Presbyterian Church. One rectangular-plan black granite obelisk, dated 1893, and one round-plan red granite monument, dated 1905, each with urn to top and carved inscriptions to shaft commemorating multiple former church members. Limestone bases, with limestone kerbing to graves
These monuments have a striking presence in the graveyard to the front of the former Presbyterian church. They are physical reminders of the congregation and former life of the church. Well designed and executed, they show skilled stone-cutting and carving techniques. Urns were often used as funerary motifs, and a similar form of urn atop a column can also be seen in the Dawson Memorial near Dartrey House.
