Description
There are two chest tombs located about 1 metre south of the south aisle of the Church of St Lawrence. These tombs date from the early 18th century and are made of stone. Each tomb features an ogee-moulded base and reverse-moulded top slabs, along with double ogee-moulded corner piers. The side panels are illegible but were originally fielded. These tombs are included for their group value.
