Description

This is a 17th-century chest tomb located in the churchyard about 12 metres southwest of the west tower of the Church of Saint Mary. It is made of Doulting stone and features a sunken base with semi-circular arched keystoned panels, one on each end and two on each side. The tomb has a deep roll moulding followed by a very heavy and thick hipped top. Although the inscriptions are no longer readable, a similar chest tomb panel that is now part of the south boundary wall is dated 1637.
