Description
Hoakens Chest Tomb is located in the churchyard, 17 metres north-west of the tower of the Church of St Peter and St Paul. This chest tomb likely dates from the 17th century and is made of local stone. The base is buried, and it features plain slab sides with a heavy flat top that has angled coving. The overall shape is an unpointed wedge, rather than rectangular. While there are no visible inscriptions on the weathered sides, there is a probably later inscription at the thinner west end that reads, "Here lyeth the/body of Richard/ Hoakens he/dyed/ocl F ye 9 1760 AGED 72/years."
