History

This tomb slab is inscribed to the memory of ? Philpot and is dated 1820. Its appearance suggests that it will have been constructed very soon after the death.

Exterior

This is a tomb consisting of a partly legible inscribed sandstone slab which is within a complete railed enclosure with gates. Wrought iron railings with cast vases on the main stanchions. The stone railing bases have been reset in concrete.

Reasons for Listing

This is included as a good example of an early C19 churchyard tomb which retains its railings complete. It also has group value with the Church of St Stephen, the Walker Memorial lych-gate and the adjoining railed enclosure.
