Description
The Furse chest tomb, located about 18 metres north of the vestry door of the Church of All Saints in Kenton, is a chest tomb that likely dates from the early 20th century. It is made of granite and features a large granite sarcophagus with a moulded plinth, a panelled chest, and a coped lid adorned with scallop moulding. An inscription on the side commemorates Phillip Furse, although the date of death is difficult to read and may be 1903.
