The sandstone ashlar monument records the lives, or more accurately the deaths, of three members of the Bate family - Ann who died in 1842, Jane who died in 1868, and John who died in 1876. It was once surrounded by iron railings, but these have been cut off near ground level (possibly as part of the 'War Effort' in the 1940s) and was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101205516-bate-monument-approximately-20-metres-south-of-church-of-st-thomas-wednesfield-south-ward#.W3XhMtQrLGg in 1992.
