Description

The Johnstone chest tomb, dated 1776, is located approximately 3 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. This sandstone chest tomb is rectangular in shape and features a thick soffit-chamfered flat lid. The plinth is now buried. The sides of the tomb have fielded panels, with three on the long sides and one on each end. The inscriptions are in Roman serif upper and lower case lettering, with some italicized text. This memorial commemorates the Reverend William Johnstone, whose death is recorded on the lid, along with the tragic deaths of six of his children in the same year. Additionally, the names John Archer and Hester Clutterbuck are inscribed, though the dates of their deaths are not legible.
