Chest Tomb Approximately 50 Metres South East Of Church Of All Saints

This chest tomb, located approximately 50 meters southeast of the Church of All Saints in Hertford, is made of stuccoed brick and features a cast-iron top slab. It dates from the 18th century and was rebuilt in 1822. The tomb has recessed side panels that are inscribed to Charles Saunders, who, by his will dated June 30, 1817, bequeathed £456 1s 9d to the Vicar and Churchwardens to ensure the tomb's upkeep, with any surplus funds designated to provide bread for the poor residing in the Parish of All Saints. The cast-iron top slab has a torus moulded edge and raised lettering commemorating Mrs. Mary Saunders, the late wife of Cesar Saunders (who died in 1762 at the age of 43), Cesar Saunders (1706-1777), his son Cesar Saunders (who died in 1796 at the age of 48), and Charles Saunders (who died in 1818 at the age of 89). The tomb was rebuilt in 1822 under the supervision of Robert Orme, the Vicar, and Churchwardens James Nunn and John Simson.
