Description
The Oxenham chest tomb, dated 1735, is located approximately 6 metres south of the aisle of the Church of St Andrew in South Tawton. This chest tomb is made of granite ashlar and has a rectangular shape with plain sides and a thick soffit-moulded lid. The lid features inscriptions in Roman serif upper and lower case lettering, divided into panels that are topped with a winged cherub's head in low relief. The first panel commemorates the death of Mr. William Oxenham in 1735, while the second panel notes the death of his wife, referred to only as Mrs. Oxenham, who died in 1738. The remaining panels are illegible.
