Description
The Willoughby chest tomb, located approximately 4 metres east of the south aisle of the Church of St Lawrence, is a Grade II listed structure dated 1616 in memory of Henry Willoughby. It is constructed from beerstone ashlar with some local flint rubble at the rear. The tomb has a rectangular shape and rests on a moulded plinth, topped with a flat lid that features a soffit moulding. On the south side, there is a rectangular plaque that stands slightly proud, with the plinth breaking forward below it. This plaque is inscribed in a mix of large Roman and half uncial capitals, recording the death of Henry Willoughby in 1616. The west end of the tomb displays a carved armorial bearing.
