Description

The chest tomb is of limestone, oval on plan, with rounded extensions at each end. The convex sides have fielded panelling, and a further panel at each end beyond fluted pilasters at the springing of the extensions. The top has two wide ogee mouldings, and rises to a central peak. Carved acanthus or vine leaves cap the end extensions. Inscriptions lightly cut on the side panels are now almost illegible. The tomb was originally enclosed by iron railings.
