Lea Tomb, Approximately 40 Metres South Of Church Of St Peter

The Lea Tomb, located approximately 40 metres south of the Church of St Peter, is a chest tomb from the mid- to late 19th century, constructed from sandstone and marble in a Gothic style. The sides feature a continuous arcade of pointed niches, which are separated by marble shafts above a moulded base made of red marble. The inner arches are trefoiled, and the central arches on each side contain carved figures. Each corner of the tomb has a canopied niche, with figures that are now headless, remaining only on the east side. The north side bears inscriptions for Charles Wheeley Lea, who died in 1898, and Amy Mary Lea, who died in 1916. Each corner is topped with pinnacles, and the top of the tomb is designed to resemble a medieval grave slab, featuring a carved cross and an inscription for John Wheeley Lea, who died in 1874.
