It commemorates Elizabeth, the wife of George Nettleton, who died in 1707. The monument is made of sandstone and features plain slab sides. Its rectangular lid has a broad guilloche border that encloses a moulded semi-circular head adorned with winged angel heads in the spandrels. The inscription is in elegant serif lettering, starting with a raised decorated initial "H" set in a sunk panel. An addition to the monument commemorates George Nettleton, who died in 1719.
