Description
The William Orchard chest tomb is located in the churchyard about 15 metres west of the porch of the Church of St John the Baptist. This chest tomb dates from the early 18th century and is possibly made of Portland stone. At the time of the survey in May 1984, it was obscured by ivy. The tomb features a flat-topped moulded cornice, a sunk plinth, and raised and fielded end pilasters. On the north and south fronts, there are central fluted pilasters flanked by oval panels, which are inscribed but mostly illegible, except for one that mentions William Orchard. The inscriptions on the east and west sides are decayed.
