Five Monuments In The Churchyard Between 7 And 14 Metres North East Of Chancel Of Church Of St Leonard

This listing describes a group of five chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between 7 and 14 metres northeast of the chancel of the Church of St Leonard. These tombs date from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone.

Three of the tombs belong to members of the Burridge family. The southernmost tomb features two octagonal panels with scrolled decoration and fielded pilasters, although it has been damaged by ivy, making the inscription partly illegible; it includes the date 1775. The next tomb to the north is also covered by ivy and has two shield-shaped panels, with an inscription on the south side dedicated to Samuel Burridge, who died in 1763. Both of these Burridge tombs have flat tops.

North of the Burridge tombs is a tomb dedicated to Sarah, who died in 1832. This tomb has a large inscription panel, fluted corner shafts, a plain frieze, and a weathered top. There are two additional tombs further to the west, both with illegible inscriptions. These two tombs feature shield panels, fluted pilasters, and the northern one has scrolled carving and moulded friezes on their flat tops.
