Description
The Higdon family chest tomb, located 6 metres south of the south porch of the Church of Saint James, dates from the mid-18th century. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features carved details. The base moulding is buried, and the sides are plain with only incised decoration. The tomb has a flat, heavy top with minimal moulding. The inscriptions are very worn, but the Higdon family name is visible, with the earliest discernible date being 1763.
