Description

The Trefusis chest tomb, located about 1.5 metres east of the north aisle of the Church of St Constantine, dates from the late 17th century. It is made of granite ashlar and features a cavetto moulded plinth and a cyma moulded cornice. The thick limestone lid is unmoulded and has a badly eroded inscription on it commemorating Elizabeth Trefusis, who died in 1730. A slate panel that originally belonged to the south side of the chest is now placed on top of the tomb; it displays the arms of Trefusis impaling Trenarth, which features a chevron between three horses' heads, along with an inscription for Ann, the wife of Henry Trefusis, who died in 1692.
