Description
This is an unidentified chest tomb located in the churchyard about 8 metres south-west of the vestry of the Church of St Stephen. It is likely from the early 19th century and is made of Ham stone. The tomb features a stepped base and a moulded plinth, with one bowed panel on each end and two plain panels on each side. It has fluted attached columns acting as pilasters, without capitals, and a moulded coving leading to a very shallow hipped top with rounded leading edges. There is no legible inscription on the tomb.
