Description
The west tomb, located approximately 2 metres east of the chancel of the Church of St Erth, is a chest tomb with an attached headstone, dating from the 1860s. It commemorates the West family, including William West, who died in 1832 at the age of 80, and his wife Joanna. The tomb is made of dressed granite and was originally topped with iron railings. The incised limestone headstone features a quatrefoil design above a shaped cruciform head. The chest tomb is rectangular in shape and has a moulded lid over shallow sides. William West was a skilled engineer and became the son-in-law of John Harvey, playing a significant role in the family business, Harvey and Co., alongside Henry Harvey.
