Chest tomb about 6 metres south of the east end of the south aisle of the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury

This is a chest tomb located about 6 metres south of the east end of the south aisle of the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury. It dates from the early 19th century or earlier and features inscription panels from several different dates. The tomb is made of ashlar Thorverton stone with freestone inscription panels. It has a rectangular shape with a heart carved in relief on the west end and a chamfered lid.

On the south side, there is an inscription panel commemorating William Crosse, who died in 1825, although the signature of the carver is now illegible. The east end features a Gothic Revival inscription panel with a blind trefoil-headed arch commemorating John Crosse, who died in 1846. The north side panel commemorates Catherine Fortbury, the wife of the Reverend B. Beauchamp, who died in 1832. The chest tomb was formerly surrounded by iron railings and serves as an interesting monument that illustrates various styles of inscription.
