Memorial in the form of a cruciform chest.  Probably 1860s.  Portland stone- Early English style.  A large, coped, cruciform chest with a foliated cross carved in relief on the top and an oversailing lid with an order of stiff-leaf foliage carved below it.  The sides of the chest are decorated with blind trefoil-headed arcading on shafts with stiff-leaf capitals.  Inscriptions, the earliest dated 1830, commemorate members of the Hooker family.
A rather unusual and ambitious Gothic Revival design in an outstanding churchyard.
