Dowdall tomb belonging to the sixteenth century and consisting of a rectangular side panel which is now set into the E wall of the graveyard. It is divided into three round-headed panels separated by pilasters. The centre panel has a Resurrection scene carved in relief on a shield. The side panels are also carved in relief on shields and have coats of arms which show Dowdall impaling some other unidentified family. There are three small scrolls over the panels, a Tudor rose in one spandrel and an angel's head in the other (JAPMD IV, 279).
