Description

The Edward Ford chest tomb, located about 2 metres north of the chancel in St Michael's Churchyard, dates from 1674 and is made of granite. The east end features two large scrolls with fluted edges on both the north and south sides. The west end has two similar scrolls, but only the north and south edges are carved, leaving the west face blank. The tomb has a flat capstone with moulded edges. On top, there is a carved inscription bordered by two incised lines, commemorating Edward Ford of Sigford, who died in November 1674. The parish register confirms that Edward Ford, a gentleman from Sigford, was buried on 5 November 1674.
