Description

This is a large chest tomb located immediately south of the south chapel in the churchyard of the Church of St. Lawrence. It dates from the mid to late 18th century and is made of limestone. The tomb features a moulded plinth and capping on a plain base that is set on a larger base, which was formerly enclosed by railings.

The fluted frieze has projecting pilasters at each corner. The ends of the tomb have vertical oval panels surrounded by carved foliage and flanking fluted pilasters. The south side displays a horizontal oval with an elaborately carved cherub and foliage spandrels, accompanied by high relief pilasters. In contrast, the north side has an incised horizontal oval with plain flanking pilasters, although both pilasters are missing at the northwest corner.

The tomb is topped with a large three-step pyramidal cap that rises to a carved finial, which is partially missing. Overall, the monument has suffered considerable erosion and cracking, and all inscriptions have been obliterated.
