Chest Tomb of the Griffiths Family About 20 Yards South of the South Porch of the Church of St Bartholomew's

The chest tomb of the Griffiths family, dating from around 1840, is located about 20 yards south of the south porch of the Church of St Bartholomew's in Grimley. This tomb is constructed from ashlar and is designed in the Greek Revival style. It features a moulded base with battered corners and large console brackets that support a ridged capping. The sides have a modillion cornice, and the ends display a Greek fret. The central ridged section is elevated above a sloping rectangular plinth and includes end pediments.

The tomb has shaped inscription panels with varied lettering, arranged in pairs on the main west and east faces. It commemorates Richard Griffiths, who died in 183?, Elizabeth Griffiths who died in 1836, John Griffiths who died in 1830, and another family member whose details are now illegible on the west face. The east face lists Elizabeth Griffiths who died in 1862, Charles John Griffiths with an unknown date of death, Julia Griffiths who died in 1836, and Susan Griffiths with an unknown date of death. The south face commemorates Lewis Summers Griffiths who died in 1849 and Reverend Henry Griffiths who died in 1892.
