Description
There are two chest tombs located approximately 15 metres north of the tower of the Church of St Mary in Calne. The first tomb, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, is situated about 15 metres to the north-northwest of the tower. Its plinth has sunk into the ground, and it features a pulvinated frieze above raised and fielded panels with worn pulvinated mouldings. There are three panels on the long sides and one on each end, all of which have worn inscriptions. The large top slab is overhanging and has moulded edges.
The second tomb, located approximately 12 metres northeast of the north porch, is from the early 19th century. It has a moulded top that sweeps up to a narrow ridge. The main block is made of hard grey limestone and includes fluted pilasters at the corners. The frieze consists of horizontal rectangles with inverted corners, alternating with patera, and similar rectangular panels are found on all sides, tapering toward the base on the long sides.
