Description
The Herbert family chest tomb, located in the churchyard 1.5 metres south of the tower at the Church of St Mary, dates from around 1930 and is likely the work of G S Goodhart-Rendel. It is made of Portland stone and features a stepped hipped roof, a moulded cornice, and a curved plinth. The tomb has applied pilasters and displays coats of arms at both the east and west ends. A carved shell and flower frieze encircles the panels, which are inscribed on the north side to Mary Elizabeth Herbert, who died in 1979, and on the south side to Mervyn Robert Howard Molyneux Herbert, who died in 1929. This tomb is an interesting example of a 20th-century chest tomb.
