Chest tomb. Late C18 type, original inscription now illegible. Rectangular chest tomb with moulded base and top. Inscription panels with inset curved corners. Bronze plaque on top has a poem to one of the deceased who was a bellringer:-
'Skill'd in the myster of the pleasing Peal, Which few can know, and fewer still reveal, Whether with little Bells or Bell sublime, To split a moment to the truth of time, Time so oft truly beat at length o'ercame, Yet shall this tribute long preserve his Name.'
Restored by Winchester Diocesan Guild of Bellringers in 1925.
