Description

This is a group of four chest tombs located approximately 4 to 9 meters south of the south porch of the Church of St. Matthew. The tombs date from the late 17th century and the mid-18th century and are made of limestone. The tomb to the north, dating from the 17th century, features a projecting capping but is largely obscured. The two 18th-century tombs to the south have projecting capping and stepped tops, along with recessed corner balusters. The inscriptions on these tombs are illegible, but the southern tomb has carved decoration on its sides. The northern tomb includes a carved head of a winged angel on the top of its north side, while the south tomb has a similar head without wings on its north side. The large 18th-century tomb to the south has a stepped moulded plinth and capping with an egg and dart design on top. It also features illegible inscription panels with rococo carving on the north side and ends, and one panel with egg and dart moulding on the south side.
