Description
This chest tomb, located approximately 10 meters north of the chancel of the Church of St. Edburg, dates from the late 17th century. It is made of Marl stone and possibly marble. The rectangular chest features shallow-panelled ends, while each side is adorned with three moulded panels. The cover, which may also be marble, has a moulded edge and bears a largely illegible inscription on the top.
