Cadw's description
Location
Set within the Hall monument enclosure and against the churchyard wall to the south-west of the church.
History
c1912.
Exterior
Built probably of Bath stone ashlar. Classical design of an Edwardian Baroque type. Rusticated piers frame a recessed oak bench. A cornice crosses the recess and the piers continue above to carry a swan-neck cornice with rusticated arch and central keystone below. This frames a recess containing an inscribed stone panel.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as part of a fine monument to an important local landowner and notable Victorian politician. It also has strong group value with the adjoining church.
