Three Monuments In The Churhcyard Between 1 And 4 Metres South Of Chancel Of Churhc Of St Mary The Virgin

There are three chest tombs located in the churchyard, between 1 and 4 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. These tombs date from the early 18th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone. The closest tomb to the chancel features a Rococo design with a moulded plinth, carved drapery, and cherubs on the main panels. It has scrolled end panels, and the north side displays a scrolled cartouche with carved floral decoration and an inscription dedicated to Sarah Barnard, who died in 1750. The chest tomb to the east of this group has oval panels on the main sides, fluted spandrels, pilasters, and quarter balusters. It features a plain frieze with a moulded top and weathered capping, along with an inscription for Isaac Fussell, who died in 1810. The unidentified 18th-century tomb to the west has two fielded panels, a moulded plinth, fluted pilasters, and a frieze leading to a moulded flat top, but the inscription is illegible.
