Description
The chest tomb, located approximately 25 meters southeast of All Hallows Church of Saint Kea, dates from the early 19th century and is dedicated to Julia Anna. It is made of white limestone with a granite outer wall and was originally surrounded by iron railings. The tomb has a rectangular shape, featuring a plinth, fielded panelled sides, clasping fluted corner pilasters, and a reverse stepped lid with an inscription that is difficult to read. The current church, built in 1896, replaced an earlier church from 1802 designed by James Wyatt, and the churchyard has been in use since that time. Very few tomb monuments remain from the earlier church at Old Kea, making the modest architectural features of the early 19th-century monuments in this churchyard historically significant for the parish.
