Description
This group of four chest tombs is located approximately 5 metres to the south of the east end of the Church of All Saints. They date from the late 18th century to the early to mid-19th century and are made of stone. Each tomb features moulded plinths and bases, with chests that have recessed corners and pilasters. The second tomb from the north includes vase balusters instead of pilasters. The side panels and lids are also moulded. Although the inscriptions are worn and the tombs are covered in ivy, some can still be read. The first tomb, which is the northernmost, commemorates Richard Gerring, who died in 1837, with the inscription located on the south side. The second tomb commemorates Robert Gerring, who died in 1818, with the inscription on a raised panel on the south side, decorated below and to the sides. The third tomb also commemorates Robert Gerring, with the inscription on the north side. The fourth tomb has a date of death of 1784, with the inscription on the north side.
