Description

The bale tomb and chest tomb, located approximately 6 meters and 8 meters south of the nave and 6 meters and 8 meters southeast of the porch of the Church of St. Britius, date from 1718 and the mid-18th century, respectively.

The bale tomb is made of limestone and features two worn inscription panels on each side, which are flanked by foliate scrolls at the rear. It has a moulded cornice and a gadrooned bale with skulls set in shell hoods at the ends.

The chest tomb to the southeast, dating from the mid-18th century, is also made of limestone. It has two winged cherubs' heads carved above the inscription panel, which is flanked by two narrow panels with trailing foliate carving. This tomb features a moulded cornice and capping, and it commemorates John James, who died in 1760, along with other members of the James family.
