The style of the tomb suggests a date of c1865, but the earliest legible inscription is 1878.
Chest tomb of grey limestone in the Gothic style. Vermiculated base, moulded plinth. Corners with dog-tooth ornamentation. Rolled cornice, stepped cap with relief cross. Long sides have sunk panels with inscriptions to the Jones family, on one side to Thomas and Rachel Jones, the date is illegible but is probably c1865. On the other side a better preserved inscription to Martha Jones, died 1878 and her brother William Lewis Jones also died 1878. Both were the children of Thomas and Rachel Jones.
Included for group value with the Church of St Mary, and as a good and well preserved example of a mid/late C19 monument in the Gothic style.
