Description

This is an unidentified chest tomb located in the churchyard about 3 meters north of the tower of the Church of St Nicholas. It dates from around 1860 and is possibly the work of C. E. Giles. The tomb has a flat top with a moulded cornice and plinth. Each of its four sides features a continuous arcade of interlocking arches in the Romanesque style, which is similar to the organ screen and bench fronts found inside St Michael's Church. The top of the tomb is inscribed, but the inscription is illegible. It may be the tomb of the donor who contributed to the addition of the south aisle.
