Description
There are three monuments to the Cock family located in the churchyard of the Church of St Genesius, about 5 metres northeast of the church. These mid-19th century chest tombs commemorate John Cock, who died in 1833; John Cock, who died in 1795; and Michael Cock, who died in 1851. The tombs are designed in a Baroque style and feature matching designs, with inscribed slate slabs set on granite chests. Each chest is moulded with a bold roll above a large cyma recta and a plinth.
