Description
There are four chest tombs located in the churchyard, between 12 and 17 metres north of the tower of the Church of St Michael and All Angels. These tombs date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are made of limestone. The southernmost tomb features two grooved panels on its main sides, reeded pilasters, and a moulded weathered top, with an inscription dedicated to Ann Davies, who died in 1801. The next tomb to the north has fluted pilasters and a blue lias panel inscribed with the names of Mary Eyles, who died in 1807, and William Eyles, who died in 1820, along with a fluted frieze on its weathered top. The square pedestal tomb to the northwest includes panels and fluted pilasters, topped with a steep pitched hipped roof, though its inscription is illegible. The late 18th-century tomb on the northeast side of the group has two panels, fluted pilasters, and quarter balusters, with a fluted frieze leading to a moulded flat top; its inscription is also illegible, and the tomb was noted to be badly sunk at the time of the survey in November 1986.
