Description
There are four chest tombs located in the churchyard between 4 and 12 metres southeast of the Church of St James. These tombs date from the late 18th century and are made of limestone. Two of the tombs belong to members of the Whitaker family and feature plinths, two shaped panels with rosette spandrels, fielded and fluted pilasters, and cornices with moulded flat tops. The northern tomb has an inscription for William Whitaker, who died in 1771. The unidentified tomb to the south has two shield-shaped panels and fielded pilasters with rosettes, along with a cornice to a moulded flat top. The tomb to the southeast also has a plinth, two shaped moulded panels, and fielded pilasters on the main sides, with a cornice to a moulded flat top; it is inscribed for Beth Flower, who died in 1791.
