Description
The Purdon Chest Tomb, located 2 metres east-north-east of the churchyard cross at the Church of All Saints, is an 18th-century chest tomb made of Ham stone. It features a sunken base and flat sides, with two semi-circular arched recessed panels on the north side. The south side displays an incised double arch with a skull between, along with incised pilasters. The tomb is topped with a heavy hipped top. It commemorates Thomas Purdon, who died in 1714, and another individual whose name is unreadable, who died in 1774. There is also a crude representation of a bell in an arched panel on one side.
