Description
This is an unidentified chest tomb located 1 metre north of the churchyard cross at the Church of All Saints. It is probably from the 17th century and is made of ham stone. The base of the tomb is sunken, with flat panels on the sides and flanks, and it features heavily moulded cyma recta edges. The flat top is present, but the inscription is very worn, with a date that could be read as 1659.
