This memorial, located about one yard south of the nave of the Church of St. Mary and St. Lawrence, is a triple chest tomb that likely dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of ashlar and has a rectangular plan. The sides and ends feature square panels with moulded edges and raised centres. The tomb has a slightly oversailing cap with a moulded edge, which originally held an inlaid slate inscription slab, although the inscription is now illegible.
