Description
This is a group of three chest tombs located in the churchyard about 8 metres east of the chancel of the Church of St Mawgan, dedicated to the Gobeldick family. They date from the mid to late 19th century.
The first tomb is for Joseph Gobeldick, who died in 1843. It is a rectangular chest made of slate, featuring pilasters and panels on the sides with slightly raised carved patee crosses, and has a flat top with a moulded edge.
The second tomb belongs to William Gobeldick, who died in 1890, and is designed in a Gothic style. This chest has polygonal ends and freestanding marble colonnettes at the corners, standing on a plinth. It features four blind cusped panels on the north and south sides, and one on the east and west sides, topped with a slightly hipped roof that has raised semi-circular ornamentation.
The third tomb is for Elizabeth Gobeldick, who died in 1908. It has a flat top with a moulded edge and a plain chest with pilasters and panels that also feature raised carved patee crosses, but it does not have a plinth.
