Forest of Dean ashlar with cast iron railings. Square plan neo-Classical monument with stepped moulded base, panelled shaft and moulded cap with cyma recta. It carries a draped urn.
Inscription on the shaft - 'IN MEMORY OF REV. WILLIAM BERKIN MEACKHAM LISLE LLD SIXTY-FOUR YEARS RECTOR OF THIS PARISH WHO DIED NOVR 3rd MDCCCLVI AGED 92 WHOM THE POOR WILL LONG REMEMBER THIS MONUMENT IS PLACED BY HIS SURVIVING FAMILY'.

Included as a fine and complete mid C19 funerary monument with unusual historic interest for the long service of the Rector.
