Also constructed from sandstone ashlar, it has a deep moulded plinth, hipped moulded capping, and corner balusters adorned with acanthus decoration. The side panels of this tomb have incised margins with quadrant corners and are located about 12 yards south of the easternmost south-facing window of the chancel.
