Description

A group of five chest tombs located in the churchyard, 10 to 18 meters southwest of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary, dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and is made of limestone. The tombs are arranged in three rows from east to west.

In the eastern row, the first tomb features a cavetto table and a moulded base, with fielded end panels and central side panels that are broken forward. It has waisted baluster ends bearing arms and is dedicated to Richard Cooke Shergold of Devizes, who died in 1727.

In the second row, the first tomb is tall, with a cavetto table and architrave supported by three pilasters adorned with coarse floral decoration and raised shields. This tomb commemorates Elizabeth Be---Y and others, though the inscription is mostly illegible, and she died in 1791. The second tomb in this row has a corniced table and moulded base, with an architrave on three panelled pilasters that divide raised shields, but the inscription is also illegible.

In the western row, the first tomb features a corniced table with a reeded fascia and a moulded base, along with draped end pilasters and a central floral panel. It is dedicated to William Ruddle, who died in 1840, and others. The last tomb has a broken table and moulded base, with panelled pilasters that divide raised shields, but its inscriptions are illegible.
