Description
Three chest tombs located about 10 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St James date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The first tomb belongs to the Hilton family, dating from 1747, and features moulded corner piers made of artificial stone, decorated with designs of cherubs and death's heads. The second tomb is for Elizabeth Cock, who died in 1751, and has incised oval panels along with urn-shaped corner piers. The third tomb is for Charles Brooks, who died in 1833, and includes heavy incised panels topped with a pediment, all within a railed enclosure that has urn principals.
