Description
This chest tomb, dating from the early 16th century, is located about 5 meters northwest of the Church of St Augustine. It features a moulded stone slab resting on low brick side walls, resembling a raised tomb stone rather than a traditional chest. It is said to have been placed here according to the will of William Forestall, who died in 1534, for people to sit on while waiting for the priest. The tomb is included for its group value with the church.
