Description
There are three adjoining table tombs, dating from around 1819, located in the churchyard immediately to the south of the Church of St Andrew. These tombs are made of ashlar and are dedicated to the Wright family. They are rectangular in shape and sit on one or two course plinths, featuring central and corner fluted Doric pilasters. Each tomb has a plain raised cornice beneath the top slabs, which bear lightly incised arms of the Wright family. All three tombs are depicted in a drawing by Ladbroke from around 1820.
