Description

The headstones located in the churchyard of the Church of St Giles, to the north of the chancel, date from the 18th century and early 19th century and are made of slate.

One notable headstone is tall and shaped in a classical style, commemorating John Parker who died in 1797. Another is a rectangular, classical design featuring an urn at the top, dedicated to William Fillingham who passed away in 1779. There is also a rectangular headstone with a moulded edge for Margaret, the wife of William Fillingham, who died in 1772.

A large, shaped headstone displays a roundel with low reliefs of winged cherub heads, honoring May Fillingham, the daughter of William and Margaret Fillingham, who died in 1777. Additionally, there is a small, shaped headstone for Ann, the wife of Joseph Stafford, who died in 1792, and a rectangular headstone for Elizabeth, the wife of William Cooper, who passed away in 1782.
