Description

The Clarke Chest Tomb is located 14 metres south of the south door to the chancel of the Church of Saint James. This chest tomb dates from the late 18th century and is made of ham stone ashlar. It features a moulded base, with one heavily fielded panel on each side and panelled pilasters only on the flanks. The top is heavily moulded and hipped. The tomb commemorates members of the Clarke family, including Charles Holliar Clarke, who died in 1779, although much of the inscription has worn away. It is part of a notable group of five tombs.
