Description
This is an early 18th-century chest tomb located in the churchyard, 3 meters to the west of the Church of St John Baptist. It is made of limestone and features a deeply coved, cyma recta moulded slab. The north side is decorated with rustic floral swags that create two oval inscription panels, while the south side has similar floral sprays forming one panel. The inscriptions on the tomb have eroded over time.
