This tomb chest, located in the churchyard of All Saints, was erected in 1812 in memory of John Prentice Lines of Hoo-End. It is made of Portland stone with a sandstone top slab. The tomb chest has a rectangular shape and features a stop-moulded base, with rectangular panels that have drafted margins on each side. The corners are designed in a moulded baluster style, with a reeded band positioned at mid-height. The top slab is also moulded and includes the primary inscription.
