Description
This chest tomb, dating from the late 17th century, is located approximately 7 metres from the north-west corner of the Church of St Mary in Calne. It is constructed of limestone and has a narrow rectangular shape. The tomb features a large flat slab on top, which is adorned with a scroll frieze beneath the entablature and is flanked by Tuscan half-columns on each side. The long sides of the tomb also include a central pilaster that frames wide shields, each with worn cherubs' heads in the lower corners of the panels. The narrow ends are decorated with a skull and crossbones on the south-facing panel and a skull above a worn cartouche on the north side. This tomb showcases an interesting classical design.
