Luxon, dated October 1760.

The second tombchest is for William Gardell of Lower St Columb, who died at Trevill in 1821. This chest is made of stone and also has a rectangular slate lid. It includes an inscription in upper and lower case lettering with serifs, which reads: "This humble grave tho' no proud structure grace, Yet truth and goodness sanctify the place: Yet blameless virtue, that adorned thy bloom, Lamented youth now weeps upon thy tomb."
