Detail of one of the caryatids on the distinctive tomb of the Harvey and Telling families, situated in the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Fairford, Gloucestershire. This unusual monument stands out in the Cotswolds for its unique feature: four Greco-Egyptian-style caryatids serving as pillars at each corner of the vault. The earliest documented burial within this plot is that of Ann Telling (died 1805), although the tomb itself may have originated in the 1820s, commemorating the passing of three members of the Harvey family.
