Cadw's description
Location
In the E angle of the chancel of the church and the mausoleum which projects to its N.
Exterior
Chest tomb, dated 1685, the inscription otherwise badly eroded and largely illegible. Inscribed slab with shield, and lettering running round the margins, carried on base with strapwork panels and guilloche with fluted shafts at angles and centre of each side.
Reason for designation
A good and rare example of late C17 memorial sculpture.
