Description
This is a group of three chest tombs located approximately 24 metres and 17 metres north-east of the north transept of the Church of St. Mary. The large chest tomb, dating from the mid-18th century around 1770, is made of limestone and features two winged cherub heads above a rococo cartouche. The flanking pilasters are adorned with carved foliate trails, and the end panel displays foliate sprays with a heraldic crest. It has a moulded plinth, cornice, and top.
The two chest tombs located approximately 17 metres north-east are from the late 18th century and early 19th century. The northern tomb has fluted pilasters and a moulded cornice and top, with the dates 1792, 1753, and 1772 inscribed, although the surname is illegible. The southern tomb features a beaded pilaster and inscription panels, along with a moulded plinth, cornice, and top. This tomb commemorates John Shutfrey, who died in 1812, his son John, who died in 1804, and his wife Mary, who died in 1810, among others.
