Description
There are three chest tombs located in the churchyard north of the north aisle of the Church of St Martin, dating from the 18th century and constructed of ashlar.
The first, known as the J. Hughes monument, is situated about 5 meters north of the aisle and dates from the late 18th century. It features angle columns and has two rococo framed plaques on the north side, adorned with a cherub head and a sunburst between them, as well as two circular plaques on the south side with plant sprays between. The tomb has a moulded base and cornice, along with a fluted frieze. The inscription commemorates Joseph Hughes Sr, who died in 1782.
The second monument, which is unidentified, is located approximately 2 meters northeast of the first tomb and dates from the mid-18th century. It has two raised oval plaques on each side, a fielded panelled centre, angle piers, a moulded base, and a moulded cornice with a pulvinated frieze that breaks forward over the piers.
The third unidentified monument is about 1 meter north of the second and also dates from the mid-18th century. It features two raised octagonal plaques on each side, fielded angle piers, and floral decoration on the centre piers. The moulded cornice breaks forward over the piers.
