Description

The tomb chest located south of the south chapel of St Petrock's Church dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed from large granite blocks with chamfered corners and features a large granite lid that has a coved cornice. The top of the lid is recessed, likely intended to hold a slate tablet, which is now missing.
