Description
There are three chest tombs located approximately 30 metres north of the Church of St Phillack, dating from the early 19th century. These tombs are dedicated to the Huthnance and King families. They are made of dressed granite and are rectangular in shape. The tomb in the far northwest corner of the churchyard features a sloping granite lid resembling a hipped roof. The tomb inscribed to John Huthnance, dating from around 1830, has a moulded granite lid and an inscription that is difficult to read. The chest immediately to the south has an incised inscription on a slate inset in the lid, commemorating Thomas King, who died in 1840 at the age of 53.
