This is an unidentified chest tomb located about 3 metres northeast of the chancel in the churchyard of St Stephen. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and is made of Ham stone. The tomb features a moulded plinth, with one plain panel on each side and baluster-moulded ends, but it lacks a frieze. The shallow hipped top has moulded coving and rounded leading edges. The north side of the tomb is damaged as of October 1986, and there is no readable inscription.
