Description
Five chest tombs are located in the churchyard, between 12 and 18 metres south of the south chapel of the Church of St. John the Baptist. These tombs date from the 18th century and early 19th century and are made of limestone. The northern pair features oval fielded panels and floral carvings, and they were ivy-covered at the time of the survey in June 1985. One of the southern tombs is dedicated to James Rance, who was Lord Weymouth's gardener and died in 1704; it has two recessed panels and fluted pilasters. The northern tomb has an illegible inscription and is similar in style to the one dedicated to Rance. Another tomb has oval panels, fielded pilasters, and an entablature; two of its pilasters are now positioned on top of the adjacent tomb.
