Description
This is a chest tomb located about one metre south of the porch of the Church of All Saints, dating from the late 17th century. It is made of Ham stone and features a moulded plinth. The panelled chest has semi-circular arched panels on the west and south sides, which include keystones, imposts, and dentilling, while the other sides are plain. The heavy hipped top is adorned with cyma-recta coving. The inscription on the tomb is very worn and virtually unreadable, but it includes a death date of 1681.
