Group Of Four Tomb Chests Approximately Six Metres South Of Chancel And 3 Metres East Of South Chapel Of Church Of St John

This is a group of four tomb chests located approximately six metres south of the chancel and three metres east of the south chapel of the Church of St John. They date from the early 18th century and are made of sandstone. Each tomb chest features flat moulded tops and scrolled ends.

The south-western tomb has a north side decorated with a central swag flanked by floral drops. The south side displays crossed bones on the left and a pick, shovel, and skull on the right. It includes an inscription that reads: "Elizabeth ... 1726(?) ...".

The north-western tomb is similar in design to the south-western tomb, but its inscriptions were illegible during the survey conducted in April 1986.

The north-eastern tomb features fluted scrolled ends with central oval panels. The north side is inscribed: "Blessed are the dead ...", while the south side reads: "Job ... 1706 ...".

The south-eastern tomb resembles the north-eastern one and has carved foliage decoration on both the north and south sides. The south side is inscribed: "Job son of Job Carter ... 1710(?)".
