The tomb of the Reverend Anthony Wingfield dates from 1715 and is by Francis Bird. Nikolaus Pevsner, in the Suffolk volume of "The Buildings of England", notes that "the design is so unlike anything one is used to in churchyards that one feels a monument in Westminster Abbey may be taking a country holiday." As on many tombs in Stonham Aspal churchyard, weathering, moss and lichen obscure the inscription and only a guidebook can tell one about the person buried there.
