Description
This is an anonymous tomb located to the south-west of the west corner of the nave of the Parish Church of St. Laud, dating from around 1850. It is made of red sandstone and features limestone inscription slabs. The tomb stands about 8 feet high and is designed in two stages, rising from a plain plinth with the upper stage diminishing in size. Sandstone frames surround recessed panels, and there is a covered cornice at the top. Notably, the tomb is intentionally anonymous, with three sides displaying biblical texts. The inscription on the east side begins with "READER: The Name, Profession and Age of him whose body lies within are of little importance..." The inscription slabs are located on the upper stage.
