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.
