Description
This description is for a group of two chest tombs located approximately 4 meters south-west of the west tower of the Church of St Giles in Goodrich. These tombs date from the early 18th century and are made of ashlar stone. They feature a moulded capping plinth that is submerged, with scrolled consoles at the ends that flank inscription panels. The inscriptions on the tombs are largely illegible, but there are traces of a monogram that resembles that found on a nearby group of two Fletcher tombs, which are located about 0.5 meters to the south.
