Description

There is a group of three body tombs located in the churchyard about 9 metres south-west of the Church of St. Mary in Donhead St. Mary. Two of the tombs likely date from the 16th century, while the central tomb is probably from the late 17th century. These tombs are made of limestone and are monoliths. The two earlier tombs are coffin-shaped with flat tops and have partly illegible inscriptions on their south sides.
