Situated within the graveyard (ME021-001002-). A chest tomb, consisting of a plain slab (dims 2.32m x 1.09m; T 7-13cm) with no devices resting on the S side-panel (L 1.89m; H 0.68m; T 12cm) and E end-panel (L 0.68m; H 0.58m plus; T 15cm) of a tomb are within the area of the parish church (ME021-001001-). The panels have lightly-incised crests – four on the long side and one on the end-panel. Austin Cooper, writing in the 1780s, describes a chest tomb with armorial crests, which he thought were of Bellew and Talbot, including that of Sir Thomas St Lawrence who held office under Edward VI (1547-53) (Price 1942, 106). The four on the long side are very similar and may represent Bellew and Talbot.
See the attached views of the tomb from S (002) and SE (011).
