Description
This is an unidentified chest tomb located in the churchyard about 4 metres south of the nave of the Church of St Mary. It dates from the late 15th to early 16th century and is made of local stone that is squared and coursed. The tomb features a flat-topped monolithic slab with a steeply chamfered cornice. The slab is split diagonally in two and shows signs of weathering. There is an inset panel at the east end that bears an unidentified coat of arms. The tomb is partially sunk into the ground and forms a pair with a similar unidentified chest tomb to the south. It is a rare survival of an early chest tomb.
