Description
The Hignell chest tomb, located in the churchyard about 9 metres east of the chancel of the Church of St. John, dates from the late 18th century and was created by Emett. This chest tomb is made of limestone and features a flat top with a moulded edge. It has plain quarter balusters and a moulded plinth. The tomb includes inscription panels on all sides, with an oval panel on the north side that displays rosettes in the spandrels and indented pilaster decoration. The inscriptions commemorate Benjamin Hignell, who passed away in 1790, along with other family members.
