Description
This is an unidentified chest tomb located in the churchyard, about 1 meter west of the south porch of the Church of St Peter. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and is made of Ham stone with lias panels. The tomb features a flat top and a very deep cyma recta moulded cornice, along with a chamfered plinth. The east and west ends show remnants of carved decoration, which may include coats of arms, and there are rectangular panels of carved decoration in the outer bays. The inset lias panels are much eroded, but the best panel in the north-east corner appears to be decorated with 'C' scroll curves. This design is considered unusual for a chest tomb in this area.
