Cadw's description
Location
In the Churchyard at the Church of St Mary, about 30m west of the tower.
History
The style of the tomb suggests that the earliest date of 1853 will be the date of manufacture, or very soon afterwards.
Exterior
A chest tomb of grey limestone in the neo-classical style. Moulded base, corner pilasters, moulded top and lid. Inscription panels on the sides, with the earliest inscription to William Jacob, died 1853.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with the Church of St Mary, and as a good and well preserved example of a mid C19 monument in the classical style.
