Description
This chest tomb, dating from the late 17th century, is located approximately 8 meters northwest of the tower of the Church of St. Giles in Exhall. It is made of sandstone and features a moulded cornice. The central pitched section of the top has a pediment carved with a skull and crossbones on the north side and an indistinct carving on the south side. The ends of the tomb have fielded panels. On the west side, there is an inscription in 19th-century script that reads "Matthew Neale 1730," which is likely a replacement for an earlier inscription that was made after the monument was originally created.
