Description
The Manning Chest Tomb, located in the churchyard 4 metres south of the southeast corner of the Church of Saint John the Baptist, dates back to 1618 and is made of Doulting stone. The base and lower parts of the panels are buried. Each side features two panels, with one panel at each end, adorned with reeded pilasters topped with decorated square panels. The tomb has a very heavy dentilled hipped top. On the south side, the left panel reads: "HERERSTETH/THEBODIEOF/WILLIAMMA/NNINGWH/(ODE)CEASEDTHE/(-)OF JUNE1618," while the right panel states: "HEREALSO/RESTETHE/BODYOF MAR/GRETHISWI/FEWHO DECE/ASEDTHEXXI/DECEMB1623." The north side has an inscription that is mostly worn away, but "Elizabeth - died 1697" can still be discerned on the right panel, which is signed in script lettering: "RA."
