Description
In the churchyard about 2 meters south of the south porch of the Church of St Mary, there are two chest tombs from the late 18th century made of ashlar. The first tomb features two fielded panels on each side, surrounded by egg-and-dart borders, with fluting and a rosette at the center and quarter-column angles adorned with husk drops. It has a moulded base and cornice, and a fluted frieze that is broken forward over plaques. This tomb is inscribed to James W----, who died in 1801. The second tomb is dedicated to Mary Glass and includes two fielded plaques on each side, with an ornate fruit and flower drop in between, and lyre ends with a floral drop. It also has fielded end panels, a moulded base, and cornice. The inscriptions on this tomb are for Mary Glass, who died in approximately 1783, and James Glass, who died in 1807.
