Description
There are four coffin tombs located east of the chancel at Holy Trinity Church. These tombs date back to the 14th century and are made of limestone. The lids of the tombs feature moulded edges and a steep camber. They have been significantly worn down, likely due to children playing on them. Originally, each lid was adorned with floriated crosses.
