It commemorates John Scameld of Chicksgrove, who died in 1801, and his wife Elizabeth, who died in 1788. The four coffin tombs, also made of limestone, have hipped tops. One of the coffin tombs is displaced and is dated 1703, another is dated 1706, while the dates on the remaining two are illegible.
