OTTERTON CHURCH HILL, Otterton SY 0885 7/123 Way chest tomb approximately - 3 metres south of aisle of Church of St Michael GV II Chest tomb. Mid C18 in memory of Way family. Limestone ashlar. Chest tomb with unusually thick soffit-moulded lid and standing on a moulded plinth. Each long side is divided into 2 panels by plain flat pilasters and similar pilasters clasp the corners. The panels are inscribed with bold Roman serif upper and lower case lettering. Most of the inscriptions are very worn and are hardly legible. However the left of the north-facing panels records the death of John Way in 1740 and other members of the Way family can be detected elsewhere. This is an unusually early chest tomb for this part of Devon since Beerstone is such a soft stone.
