Description
Two monuments are located in the churchyard about 2 meters southeast of the southeast angle of the chancel of the Church of St Laurence. The first is an unidentified chest tomb from the early 19th century, made of ashlar, featuring a stepped ridged cap and slab sides. It has a plaque on each side set in an incised frame with rebated angles and similar framed strips flanking it. The second is the Chivers monument, dating from the later 18th century, also made of ashlar, with slab sides, a moulded base and capstone, and low relief incised framing to the plaque on each side. The inscription on the north side commemorates John Chivers, who died in 1759.
