Description
This tomb chest, located approximately 15 metres north-west of the Church of St Mary, dates from the mid-18th century and was created for the Sparrow family. It features a red brick and terracotta base topped with a stone slab. The design includes moulded brick panels, fluted pilasters at the corners and centre, along with a frieze and cornice. The inscription on the slab was illegible during the last survey.
