A group of three bale-topped chest tombs is located approximately 1 meter south of the nave of the Church of St. James the Great. The first chest tomb dates from around 1729 and is made of stone, featuring a rectangular shape with a chamfer-edged slab and a plain bale on top. The second chest tomb is likely from the 18th century and is also rectangular, with a plain chest, a cornice-moulded slab, and a plain bale on top. The third chest tomb probably dates to the early 18th century and is made of stone. It has winged heads and swags on the sides, with panels on the left and right that include lozenges. The west end features an inscribed panel with an oval wreathed surround, while the east end has an oval cartouche with a rococo scroll surround. This tomb also has a spiral-moulded bale top with shell ends, the one on the west side featuring a skull.
