Description

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

Among them is a tall, shaped, classical headstone, divided vertically, commemorating George Brownhill who died in 1813 and his wife Elizabeth who died in 1804. There is also a small, rectangular headstone for Martha Brownhill, who died in 1759 at the age of 80. Another rectangular classical headstone marks the grave of William Brownhill, son of George and Elizabeth Brownhill, who died in 1818 at the age of 26, and is signed by Wood.

Additionally, there is a rectangular classical headstone for Martha Cooper, wife of James Cooper, who died in 1815, and a rectangular headstone for Thomas Pyne, who died in 1775. Two small rectangular headstones, one with a moulded edge and oval panel, commemorate Hannah, wife of Samuel Beet, who died in 1740, and Samuel Beet, who also died in 1740.
