Description
There is a pair of coffin slabs located immediately to the north of the nave of the Church of Saint Peter. These slabs likely date from the 13th or 14th century and are made of red sandstone. Each slab features an incised cross and border. As of March 1986, only the top half of the westernmost slab remains. This pair is one of three groups of coffin slabs found to the north of the Church of Saint Peter, which were discovered built into the foundations of the south wall of the old church. The current church was constructed between 1874 and 1875.
