Description

There are three chest tombs located about 4 metres southeast of the south transept of the Church of St Budock. These tombs date from the early 19th century. One of the chests is dedicated to Mary, although the rest of the inscription is indecipherable. The tombs are made of dressed granite and are rectangular in shape. Two of the chests are identical, featuring plinths, pilaster corners, and moulded lids, while the third chest has a simpler design.
