Description

This is a chest tomb located about 3 metres south of the porch of the Church of St Augustine, dating from the late 17th century. It is made of Ham stone and features a flat top. The frieze is ornately carved with lions' masks, diamonds, and rosettes. There are segmental-headed bays with decorated spandrels set between caryatids on the north and south faces. At the east end, there is a cartouche below an angel's head, while the west end displays a skull and crossbones that is partially sunk below ground. Although the inscriptions are no longer legible, the date 1683/8 can still be discerned on the north face. This is a very handsome chest tomb.
