Description
There are two chest tombs located in the churchyard, between 1 and 3 metres east of the Church of St. Leonard. The tombs date from the late 17th century and late 18th century and are made of limestone.
The first tomb, belonging to Martha Long who died in 1783, is a fine long chest tomb set on a plinth. It features an egg and dart moulded fielded oval panel on the main side, carved drapery, and quarter balusters at the corners. The fluted frieze is adorned with paterae and supports a corniced flat top.
The second tomb, for John Dew who died in 1688, has one recessed panel on the main side and a cavetto-moulded flat top. At the time of the survey in July 1985, this tomb was noted to be badly sunk.
