Description
This is an unidentified chest tomb located in the churchyard, about 15 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Gregory. It is possibly from the 16th century and features a top made of Ham stone with carved panels, while the body is constructed from squared and coursed blue lias. The tomb has a flat top and a steeply chamfered cornice. Both the north and south sides have inset rectangular panels that display a coat of arms, believed to belong to the Montague family, who owned Slough Farm during the Middle Ages. The tomb is tilted towards the south and is noted for its unusual design.
