Description
This description is for a pair of Poole family chest tombs located within a raised surround in the churchyard, about 8 meters east of the chancel at the Church of St John the Baptist. These identical chest tombs date from the early 19th century and are made of lias, Ham stone, and Portland stone. They feature a ledger top, a moulded cornice, a bevelled plinth, and end pilasters with sunk two-centred head panels. The southern tomb has lias panels inscribed with details about Chester Poole, who died in 1829, and his wife Mary on the north front, while the east and west ends are blank. The northern tomb is in very poor condition, with the south and east ends missing, a damaged west end, and a slate panel on the north front. There is some evidence of railings around the tombs.
