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. It is topped with a rectangular slate slab and a granite lid that has an inscribed slate inset. The tomb includes an interesting epitaph for Catharinah, niece of John Bland, dated 1784, which reads: "Beneath this tomb there lies confined a Maid that bore a villous mind in her 20th Year returned to dust to make her Portion with the just."
