Bale Tomb. Early C18, now dismembered with portions laid flat. Ham stone. Two pairs plain bordered-side-panels with
central reeded pilaster; one inscribed "Here---of John-ett who--1722", and the other "Here lyeth the body of Mary wife
of John Relett who died July 7 1719", second panel may be the two end pieces, with double reeded pilasters, one having
