Group of 16 Chest Tombs Approximately 1 Metre East of Chancel and to East of North Transept and North of Chancel of Church of St Mary

This is a group of 16 chest tombs located approximately 1 metre east of the chancel and to the east of the north transept, north of the chancel of the Church of St. Mary. The tombs date from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone.

Two chest tombs are situated about 1 metre east of the chancel. The northern tomb features a cyma-moulded plinth and cornice and commemorates Richard Ashfield, who died in 1792, and his daughter Martha, who died in 1769. The southern tomb, also with a cyma-moulded plinth and cornice, includes corner balusters and ovolo-moulding on the inscription panel, commemorating Ann Ashfield.

To the east and north, there is a group of 14 chest tombs dating from the early 18th century to the early 19th century. Four plain early 18th-century tombs are located to the north, with the central one featuring fielded pilaster panels. An early 19th-century tomb has beaded panels and a moulded top, while an early 18th-century tomb has a moulded cornice and is situated approximately 3 metres east of the north transept.

Further east is a mid-18th-century tomb adorned with a rococo cartouche and corner balusters. A tomb dated 1736, located about 5 metres north of the chancel, has a moulded plinth and cornice along with fielded pilaster panels. Early 19th-century tombs can be found to the south-west and south-east, each featuring fielded panels and a moulded top. The southern tomb, with a moulded plinth and cornice and fielded pilaster panels, commemorates James Houlton, who died in 1736. The tomb to the east of this one commemorates Walter Cowell, who died in 1720, and features a gadrooned lid. There are also two low mid-19th-century tombs that are not of special architectural interest.
