Description

The Venn chest tomb, dated 1792, is located approximately 7 metres south of the nave of the Church of St Mary. It commemorates Thomas and Harriet Venn. The tomb is made of limestone ashlar and has a rectangular shape. Its flat lid features moulded edges, and the chest rests on a hollow chamfered plinth.

The ends of the tomb are also inscribed with the deaths of other members of the Venn family.
