Description
The Cotsford Tomb Chest, located 2 meters west of the nave of the Parish Church, is a Grade II listed structure dedicated to Edward Cotsford Esq., who died in 1810. This tomb chest is made of Portland stone and is notably tall, featuring depressed panels beneath pointed arches—two on each side and one at either end. The west panel includes a memorial inscription along with Cotsford's coat of arms. It has a moulded base and slab, with a low moulded surrounding kerb, although the railings have been removed. Edward Cotsford served as High Sheriff of Devon in 1792 and was the builder of Winslade Park, which is situated near the church.
