STAIRCASE DOOR
This
is 17th Century or earlier. The door is made of nail studded
battens with strapped hinges. Stone steps under the door lead down to a
large vaulted chamber containing many coffins of the Eggardon family.
The chamber is now sealed up. The last of the family sold the remains of
their estate in 1741 and was reduced to receiving relief from the
parish. |

PURBECK
MARBLE GRAVE SLAB
Dedicated
to Thomas and Alianore de Luda, the grave slab records the gifts of
lands and rents in 1305 in Holwell, now in Dorset but then in Somerset,
to the Abbey of Abbotsbury from whence this slab probably came. It is
not known for certain the story of its journey to Askerswell, but it
could have been brought to the village in the Civil War when
Cromwell’s troops besieged Abbotsbury in 1644, inflicting severe
damage on the remains of the Abbey. The
slab was discovered in a milldam in Askerswell in 1924 by the Reverend E
Westmacott after the millpool had been filled in. £2 was paid for the
stone to avoid its destruction. Its matching sister slab is to be found in the church of St Candida, in Whitchurch Canonicorum |
