Description
The Robinson chest tomb, located 3.0 metres east of the Church of St. Edwin in High Coniscliffe, is a Grade II listed structure, likely dating from the mid-18th century and associated with the Robinson family. It is made of sandstone and features a horizontal slab with a moulded edge, supported by six short fluted piers. The tomb has solid end and side panels. The lettering on the tomb is very worn, possibly referring to RADOLPHUS ROBINSON, though the rest is illegible.
