Cadw's description
Location
Immediately adjoining the south porch of the Church of St Mary.
History
The first death is recorded 1844 and the design would suggest that the memorial dates from very soon after that. The Rev. John Thomas Casberd was Vicar of Penmark 1799-1843 (see tablet in church).
Exterior
Constructed of Portland limestone ashlar. Neo-classical sarcophagus on a moulded base, panelled sides, with each corner carrying a reversed torch in relief, swept out to a corniced top which carries a draped urn.
Reason for designation
Included for its special design quality and for its group value within the churchyard of the Church of St Mary.
