Description
There are three chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between 0.5 metres and 3 metres north of the west end of the Church of St George. These tombs date from the late 17th century and 18th century and are made of limestone. The southernmost tomb features an oval panel and fielded pilasters supporting a flat top, with cherubs carved on the end panels. The middle tomb has an inscription dedicated to Edmund Lewis, who died in 1671, and has low sides with a flat top that displays good lettering. The northern tomb is distinguished by a large panel adorned with scrolled carving and skulls, along with fielded pilasters leading to an ogee-moulded flat top, although its inscription is illegible.
