Field Visit (3 April 1909)
188. Coped Stone, Burial Aisle and Bell, Hutton Church.
In the south-east corner of the graveyard adjoining Hutton Church, at the top of the steps leading up from the entrance, is a coped gravestone. It lies north and south, is 6 feet 2 ½ inches in length, 22 inches across the base at the south end, 17 inches at the north, 10 inches in thickness at the former end, and 8 ½ inches at the latter. The flattop is 9 inches across at the south extremity and 7 inches at the north. Though much worn, there are still discernible three parallel rows of scale ornament on either flank of the stone.
In the same graveyard is a burial aisle having a pointed barrel vault within, which is probably of the first half of the 17th century. It measures 24 feet in length by about 17 feet 4 inches wide.
The bell of the church, 23 ¼ inches in diameter, is by Johannes Burgerhuys, and bears date 1661.
