Description
This is an 18th-century chest tomb made of Bath stone, located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Andrew, 7 metres north of the north transept-choir. The tomb features a flat top, a moulded cornice, and a plinth. There is an inscription panel on the west face, but it is too eroded to be readable. The tomb is primarily listed for its group value, as it lies due north of the Buffet chest tomb.
