Description

The Ivry chest tomb, located approximately 12 metres east of the north aisle of the Church of Saint Sithney, dates from the early 19th century. It commemorates Thomas Ivey, who died in 1809 at the age of 67, and his wife Alice, who passed away in 1840 at the age of 97. The tomb is made of dressed granite and features a small incised slate lid insert at the east end. It has a rectangular shape, with the sides constructed from square granite slabs secured with iron staples. The lid is a granite monolith that slightly projects at the edges. The tomb is overgrown with ivy and bears the following inscription: "Corruption earth and Worms Shall but refine his Flesh Till my triumphant Spirit comes To put it on afresh."
