This Grade II listed headstone commemorates Thomas and Hannah Cole and is made of hamstone. It features an upright, round-headed slab that stands about 2 metres high. The top of the headstone is adorned with a carved winged cherub's head set within a scalloped frame.

The inscription records the deaths of Thomas Cole in 1841 and his wife Hannah in 1810, along with a poem.
