Description
The Church of St. Lawrence features a group of three chest tombs dating from the late 18th century, located approximately 2 meters to the south of the church. These tombs are made of limestone. The pair of tombs to the southwest of the porch have moulded covers and panelled sides, although the inscriptions on them are illegible. The tomb to the southeast of the porch has a moulded base and cover, rectangular corner balusters, and panelled sides that show traces of a painted finish. The earliest inscription on this tomb commemorates John Fruin, who died in 1791.
