Description
This is a group of three chest tombs located in the churchyard, 5 to 7 meters north-north-west of the lychgate at the Church of the Holy Cross. They date from the early to mid-18th century and are made of limestone.
The first tomb, from the early 18th century, features floral angle pilasters and rustic floral sprays that frame square panels on the sides and oval panels with floral borders at the ends. It has a slab with a deep chamfer.
The second tomb, from the mid-18th century, also has floral angle pilasters and includes three raised and fielded panels on the north side, with a central oval panel on the south. It has a moulded plinth and a cyma recta moulded slab.
The third tomb, dating from the early 18th century, has floral borders around two oval panels on each side. Its base and slab have a deep chamfer, but the slab is badly weathered as of the last survey in June 1986.
