St Mary
GV II
Chest tomb. Early C17. Volcanic trap. The chest has a moulded oversailing lid
incorporating a Gothic inscription in relief on a frieze above the chest. The
inscription is partly illegible but was recorded by Beatrix Cresswell as
commemorating Simon Pidsley, died 1609.
A high quality tomb : any relief-carved lettering of the C17 is a rare survival on
memorials in the county.
