Description
This is a chest tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 2 meters south of the south porch of the Church of St Andrew and St Mary. It dates from the late 17th century and is made of raw stone. The tomb features a flat top with a cyma recta moulded cornice. The south side is inscribed with the name of the occupant who died in the 1680s. The north side is damaged and is positioned very close to the Southwood family chest tomb to the south, making it difficult to see. The top of the tomb is also damaged, and it is sunk and leaning to the north.
