Description
Two monuments are located in a railed enclosure in the churchyard, about 17 metres south west of the tower of the Church of St Giles. This early 19th-century railed enclosure features cast-iron spearhead railings. The chest tomb to the north, known as the Fricker chest tomb, has a moulded plinth, two shaped grooved panels with fan spandrels, and fielded pilasters, along with a grooved frieze leading to a flat top. The tomb to the south includes large oval inscription panels with urns on either side, quarter balusters supporting the cornice, and a fluted frieze, topped with a low weathered surface, although the inscriptions are now illegible.
