This is an unidentified chest tomb located approximately 6 meters south of the nave of the Church of St Mary and St Andrew, dating from around 1830. It is made of sandstone and has a rectangular shape. The tomb features a moulded plinth and capping, with a chamfered top ledger and reeded corner pilasters. The moulded inscription panels on the north and south sides are indecipherable as of the last survey in 1985. This tomb is included for its group value with the church.
