Description
There are three long monuments located in the churchyard, between 10 and 14 metres south of the Church of St. Leonard. These monuments consist of two chest tombs and one body tomb, dating from the late 17th century to the mid 19th century. They are made of limestone. The northern chest tomb features recessed moulded panels and a cavetto-moulded flat top, which was very broken at the time of the survey in July 1985; it is dedicated to Walter Long, who died in 1862. The southern chest tomb has quirked panels and a cavetto-moulded flat top, commemorating Rebecca Long, who died in 1810. The body tomb to the south is dedicated to Ann Long, who died in 1828.
