Description
The Church of St Peter and St Mary features a group of four chest tombs located south of the nave, dating from 1832 to 1841. These tombs are made of stone. One of the tombs is a monument to Samuel Walters, who died in 1832, and it includes arch-panelled pilasters at the corners and an arched lid. There is also an indecipherable chest tomb set to the west of the group, which has baluster corners. Additionally, there are two further chest tombs to the south of the group, which were overgrown at the time of review.
