The 6 Tomb Chests In Churchyard Next Chancel, 5 On East, 1 On South

There are six tomb chests located in the churchyard next to the chancel, with five on the east side and one on the south side. These tomb chests date from the 18th century and early 19th century and are associated with the Greene family. They are made of carved limestone and feature black marble top slabs.

From south to north, the first four tombs on the east side of the chancel are: Mary Greene, who died in 1738; another similar tomb with an illegible inscription; a tomb for a member of the Greene family who died in 1791; and Henry Greene, who died in 1773. Each of these tombs has moulded edges on the inscribed top slab, gadrooned recessed corners, fielded panels on each face, and a moulded base.

The fifth tomb, dedicated to Henry Greene who died in 1834, shares a similar design to the one next to the south wall of the chancel. It features a fluted corner pilaster and a simpler tomb chest design with a moulded base, topped with a heavy inscribed slab.
