Carne Tomb And One Other Chest Tomb At Approximately 30 Metres North Of Church Of St Phillack

The Carne tomb and one other chest tomb are located approximately 30 metres north of the Church of St Phillack. They date from the mid-19th century and are associated with the Carne family. The chest tomb is made of dressed granite and features inscribed inset marble panels on the sides. It stands on a large granite base topped with cast-iron railings. The tomb is rectangular in shape and has a moulded granite lid. The railings include ovolo-moulded corner stanchions with urn finials and spear-head finials over the bars. An inscribed panel on the west end commemorates Elizabeth Carne, daughter of Joseph and Mary Carne, who died in 1873 at the age of 55. Other, older inscriptions on the tomb are indecipherable. At the east end of the Carne tomb, there is a slate monolith headstone with a moulded border, which also has an indecipherable incised inscription.
