Description
This is an 18th-century chest tomb located about 11 metres south-southwest of the south porch of the Church of St Peter and St Paul in South Petherton. It is made of Ham stone and features a tall moulded plinth on a step. Each face of the tomb has one fielded panel, with three-panel pilasters on the flanks and no frieze. The shallow hipped top has moulded coving and rounded leading edges. The inscriptions on the tomb are very worn, but one death date of 1772 is still legible on the east side.
