Cadw's description
Location
Located in the W part of the churchyard, one of approximately 30 table tombs which are enclosed by iron railings.
History
An unusual classical-style churchyard monument, probably late C18.
Exterior
An open-sided table tomb with capstone in the form of a shallow hipped roof. Squat stone columns, to angles and centre of each side, each with a bulbous ring, resting on a flat stone slab just above ground level. The capstone bears engraved writing to each face, which is no longer legible.
Reason for designation
Listed as an unusual classical-style churchyard monument and for group value with the enclosing churchyard railings and the Church of St Peter.
