Description

Four chest tombs are located in the churchyard, 2 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Giles. These tombs date from the early to late 18th century and are made of limestone. They are lettered from north to south and east to west.

The first tomb, from 1758, features angle pilasters and advanced central panels. The southern panel is framed by a rococo cartouche, although the lettering has eroded. It has winged putti at the west end and palm decoration with rocaille at the east end, along with a moulded base and a cyma recta moulded slab.

The second and third tombs, both from the early 18th century, have lyre-shaped end panels adorned with foliage and scrolled fronds that frame the central inscription panels on the sides. They each have a moulded base and a cavetto-moulded slab.

The fourth tomb, from the late 18th century, features angle and central pilasters and two shield-shaped panels on each side with leaf decoration in the spandrels. It includes an open bible and winged putti at the east end, along with a moulded base and a cyma recta moulded slab.
