Description

This is a group of eight tombs located in the churchyard, 16 to 19 meters north of the north porch of the Church of St. Sampson. The group includes one bale tomb from the 17th century and seven chest tombs from the 18th and 19th centuries, all made of limestone.

Starting from the north, the first is an unidentified bale tomb with a spiral grooved top and skulls in the end tympana. The second tomb features a chamfered table and base with plain inscribed sides, also unidentified. The third and fourth tombs are similar in style, dedicated to William Campernowne and Elizabeth Campernowne, respectively. The fifth tomb is similar and dedicated to another member of the Campernowne family. The sixth features recessed corner balusters and is also dedicated to a Campernowne. The last two tombs are slab tombs from the 19th century and remain unidentified.

The bale tomb is said to be a Jenner tomb, and both the Jenner and Campernowne families were prominent local families during the 17th and 18th centuries.
