Description
There are eight chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between 3 and 6 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Mary, St Katherine and All Saints. These tombs date from the 18th century and early 19th century. Six of the tombs to the west are dedicated to members of the Pepler family. They are made of limestone. The two unidentified tombs to the east feature oval fielded panels and pilasters with moulded flat tops. The two westernmost tombs each have octagonal fielded panels and carved central panels or pilasters, with weathered tops; one is dedicated to John Pepler, who died in 1780, while the other is likely from the early 19th century. The remaining four tombs include a large one with egg and dart moulded panels and scrolled pilasters dedicated to Lucy Pepler, who died in 1794, along with others that have plain or fielded panels and pilasters.
