Two Chest Tombs About 10 And 25 Metres South Of Church Of St Laurence

Two chest tombs are located about 10 and 25 metres south of the Church of St. Laurence. One tomb is a railed chest tomb dedicated to Catherine (who died in 1840) and Peter Burgess (who died in 1846). It is made of stone and features an iron rail. The tomb has a moulded plinth and a sarcophagus-shaped chest with heavily reeded tapering corner piers. The side panels are raised and fielded with chamfered corners, and the end panels have incised lozenges. The top slab is moulded and raised, and the railings are designed with spear heads and acorn finial principals. The second tomb is for George Marten, who died in 1744. This is a low chest with a moulded plinth and a moulded top slab that is incised with a Coat of Arms and an inscription.
