Description

A group of five chest tombs located in the churchyard, 1 to 3 meters northwest of the nave of the Church of the Holy Cross, dates from the late 18th to early 19th century and is made of limestone. The tombs are lettered from north to south and east to west.

The first tomb is unidentified and features panelled pilasters with two panels on either side and a cyma recta moulded slab. It was overgrown with ivy at the time of resurvey in June 1986. The second tomb is also unidentified, similar in design to the first, with panelled pilasters and two panels on either side, and was completely overgrown with ivy during the same resurvey.

The third tomb, also unidentified, has fluted angle pilasters, two circular panels on the north side, one square panel on the south side, lozenge panels on the ends, and a deep chamfer to the slab. The fourth tomb belongs to the Deverell family and dates from 1819, featuring incised lines forming two panels on the north side and one large oval panel on the south side, with incised lettering and fan decoration in the corners of the south face. It has a moulded plinth, fluted cornice, and a cyma recta moulded slab. The fifth tomb is unidentified and has one raised and fielded panel on each side, along with a moulded plinth and a cyma recta moulded slab.
