Description

There are two grave slabs located under the eaves on the south side of the nave at the Church of St. Michael. These grave covers date back to the 10th century and are made of ashlar. Although they are very worn, traces of elaborate interlace decoration can still be seen. Originally, these stones would have been laid flat to cover the grave and were most likely associated with a headstone that is listed separately. The slabs were discovered when the earlier church was demolished in 1849, and a 19th-century engraving provides more detail about the decoration.
