Description
This is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, positioned 5 meters south-south-east of the chancel of the Church of St Giles. It dates from the mid-18th century and is made of limestone. The tomb features bold relief foliage that frames the end and side panels, though these details are currently obscured by ivy growth as noted during a resurvey in August 1986. The slab has a cyma recta moulded design.
