Description
There are three chest tombs located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Giles, situated 3 metres east of the chancel. These tombs date from around 1818 and 1840 and are made of ashlar and iron. The northernmost tomb, which is coffin-shaped, is dedicated to Mary and is dated 1818. The central rectangular tomb belongs to Mary Ann Newstead and is dated 1845, while the southernmost tomb, also rectangular, is for Thomas Newstead and is dated 1842. All three tombs feature stylised crosses. They are enclosed by decorative iron railings that rest on a chamfered ashlar base. Each corner of the enclosure has a hollow iron pier adorned with both blind and open tracery, although the damaged finials from these piers are currently lying on the ground. These tombs are included for their group value only.
