Hawkins tombs approximately 1 metre east of south aisle of Church of St Erth

The Hawkins tombs are located approximately 1 metre east of the south aisle of the Church of St Erth. This site features a vault built into the bank of the churchyard, topped by two chest tombs. The 18th-century vault belongs to the Hawkins family of Tredrea, while the late 19th-century chest tomb is for the Hawkins family of Trewinnard. The vault is constructed of granite ashlar with a moulded granite border, the sarcophagus is made of limestone, and the chest tomb is also granite ashlar with a moulded granite lid.

The vault is rectangular in shape, with only the west (entrance) side and the south side visible, as the rest is concealed under a bank of earth. The sarcophagus and chest tomb are positioned over the vault at either end, both being rectangular with their long axes oriented west-east. The casket-shaped sarcophagus rests on four square moulded feet above a moulded plinth, topped with an urn on a pyramidal lid. The chest tomb features relief inscriptions on its sides.
