Description

The Spordel chest tomb with railing enclosure is located 13 metres northeast of the northeast corner of the chancel at the Church of Saint Mary. This chest tomb dates from the 19th century and is made of Ham stone, featuring wrought iron railings. It has a moulded base and simple panels with incised borders that have reverse curves at the corners. The ends and flanks are adorned with reeded pilasters, and it has a thin, steeply hipped top. The tomb commemorates John Spordel (or Spordle), who died in 1840. Surrounding the tomb is a paved area with a 150mm stone kerb, on which the railings are set. The railings have spear heads, thicker balusters, and ornamented fluted spikes at the corners.
