large sarcophagus with lion feet, gadrooned top and acroterion

battered piers on Pennant plinths.
HISTORICAL NOTE: original planting included yews to each
corner and box hedges along the railings. The original cost
was ยป1000. The tomb was built in both the Anglican and
nonconformist sections of the cemetery to enable TG Matthews
to be buried in the Anglican section and his wife in the
nonconformist part; the original dividing path was diverted to
accommodate this arrangement. His obituary is recorded in the
Bristol Times, June 1860.
