Description

This chest tomb, located about 6 metres southeast of the chancel of the Church of St. Michael in Stokenham, is probably from the late 18th century. It is made of dressed slate and features a hollow chamfered slate cornice along with a slate lid. The lid has weathered significantly, making the inscription difficult to read.
