Description
The chest tomb to the Blund family, located 6 metres south of St Clement Church, dates from 1771, 1784, and 1831. It is made of granite and slate and has a rectangular plan. The tomb features a plinth with roll moulding, plain sides with roll moulding at the corners, and roll and cyma recta moulding along the cornice.
