Description
A group of six chest tombs is located approximately 15, 12, and 10 metres north of the north transept of the Church of St. Mary. The tombs include one dated 1803, made of limestone, which is plain with a raised plinth and moulded cornice. Another tomb, located about 12 metres north, dates from the mid-18th century and is also made of limestone, featuring a plain design with a splayed cornice. This tomb commemorates Thomas Collins, who died in 1788, and another Thomas who died in 1829.
The four chest tombs situated approximately 10 metres north are from the early to mid-18th century. The mid-18th century tomb to the southwest has a cavetto-moulded plinth and cornice, along with fielded inscription panels. The early 18th century Collins tomb to the east features a deep cyma-moulded plinth and cornice. The early 18th century tomb to the southeast has raised corner pilasters, a revealed inscription panel, and moulded cornices. Lastly, the mid-18th century tomb to the northeast is adorned with winged cherub's heads and rosettes on the pilasters flanking a revealed inscription panel, along with a moulded plinth and cornice.
