Description
Three chest tombs are located within a kerb in the churchyard, 1 to 5 metres north of the north transept of the Church of St. Hermes. These tombs date from the early 19th century and are made of limestone, with a granite kerb. The iron railings that once surrounded them have been removed.
The first tomb, from the north, is a simple chest with rod-moulded corners and an offset base. It has an unmoulded table inscribed to Ann Collins, the wife of John Collins, who died in 1829.
The second tomb features fielded panelled sides and ends, with recessed corner balusters. It has a moulded table inscribed to Reverend John Collins, who died in 1793, although the table is broken.
The third tomb is similar to the second and also bears the name of Reverend John Collins, with a date of death of 1775.
