Ham Chest Tomb Approximately 4 Metres South Of Transept Of Church Of St Winifred

This is a chest tomb located approximately 4 metres south of the transept of the Church of St Winifred. It is dated 1667 in memory of Robart Ham, although it likely dates from the 16th century. The tomb is made of Beerstone ashlar and features a chamfered plinth, plain sides, and a soffit-moulded flat lid. The north side has an inscription in Roman serif upper and lower case lettering, mostly in capitals, which records the death of Robart Ham in 1667. An inscription on the east end notes the death of "Master Abraham," who died at the age of 4 in 1727. The south side also has an inscription in Roman serif capitals, but a section that includes the name of the deceased and the year of death has been replaced with a new piece of stone. It is possible that this tomb belongs to John Taylor, who died in 1586, as mentioned in the church guide.
