Description

The Berkeley Altar Tomb is an 18th-century altar tomb located in the churchyard, 9 metres south of the organ chamber of the Church of Saint Mary. It is made of Doulting stone and features a marble inscription panel on the west side. The tomb has a chamfered base step and a high moulded plinth, with fielded panels on three sides and a flat marble panel. It is topped with a cornice leading to a flat top, which has a step and base for an urn that is somewhat eroded. The Latin inscription is no longer complete, but the last line reads "JUSTI HONORABILIS C. BERKELEY". This tomb may belong to Sir Charles Berkeley, who rebuilt the chancel of the Church of Saint Mary in 1743.
