Description
The Weymouth tombs, located approximately 2 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Buryan, consist of a chest tomb and two nearby headstones. These tombs date from the 18th century and early 19th century and are dedicated to the Weymouth family. The chest tomb features a panelled marble structure with a chamfered granite border on the lid, which is rectangular in shape. The inscription on the chest tomb lid is indecipherable. One of the headstones is made of slate and commemorates James Weymouth of Boskenna, who died in 1793 at the age of 59, and his wife Thomassin, who died in 1799 at the age of 63. The other headstone is made of granite.
