Description
This is an unidentified chest tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 12 metres south of the nave of the Church of St Mary. It dates from the late 15th to early 16th century and is constructed from local stone, which is squared and coursed. The tomb features a monolithic slab with a steeply chamfered cornice, and it is sunk almost to the level of the cornice. There is an inset panel with a heraldic device at the east end, which is strongly carved, although the description is illegible. The tomb appears to be in good condition below the soil. It forms a pair with a similar tomb to the north and is considered a rare survival of an early tomb.
