Description
A row of three chest tombs is located about 12 yards south of the easternmost window of the south aisle of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The northern tomb is dedicated to Elizabeth Pritchard, who died in 1792. It is made of sandstone ashlar and features flat capping, curved end panels with putti-heads, and floral designs. The center tomb commemorates James Pritchard, who died in 1785, and is also constructed from sandstone ashlar, with flat capping, corner balusters, and squared margins. The southern tomb is for Ann Pritchard, who died in 1837. This tomb has hipped capping, a moulded base, fluted corner balusters, and oval inscription panels with paterae at the corners. At the time of the survey in July 1985, the last two monuments were heavily overgrown.
