Description
The Thomas Knight chest tomb is located in the churchyard about 2 meters southeast of the chancel at the Church of St Mary. This chest tomb dates from the early 18th century, with a later addition from the 19th century. It is made of Ham Stone and features lias panels. The tomb has a ledger top, apsidal ends, and a moulded cornice. The panels have moulded surrounds, including inset lias panels at the shallow bowed ends, and it sits on a podium that is largely covered with grass. The tomb is inscribed on all sides, although the inscription on the east front has eroded. The south front features fine lettering commemorating Thomas Knight, who died in 1715, while the north front is dedicated to Sarah, the wife of Richard Edward, who died in 1854.
