Built in memory of Henry King who died in 1891 (the date "c.1391" in the Historic England listing is surely a misprint!) Listed Grade II (list entry 1370790). The entrance arch (left) is more highly listed at grade II* (list entry 1042557), which explains that this late C17 or early C18 structure was relocated "from elsewhere".
