Description
A group of nine chest tombs, dating from the late 17th century to the early 19th century, is located to the east and south-east of the chancel of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. These tombs are made of ashlar and feature panelled sides and cornices. Some have 'lyre ends' and others display highly decorative carving, particularly those in the south-east of the group. One of the tombs commemorates John Bence, who died in 1674 and was struck by lightning. This collection of chest tombs represents a good mix of classical and local tomb styles and significantly enhances the setting of the church.
