Description
This listing describes a group of four chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between 3 and 5 meters west of the tower of the Church of St Giles. The tombs date from the early 18th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone.
The northernmost tomb features two recessed moulded panels, a moulded plinth, and a hollow-moulded cornice leading to a flat top, though the inscription is illegible and likely dates to the early 18th century. The southern tomb has a central fielded panel on the north side and two fielded panels on the south side, with fielded pilasters and a moulded cornice to a flat top, also with an illegible inscription.
The southernmost tomb includes a low-relief carved oval panel on the main sides, flanked by urns, a cornice leading to a grooved frieze and flat top, with an illegible inscription, probably from the early 19th century. The tomb on the eastern side of the group has a moulded plinth, two grooved panels, and a heavy chamfered flat top, likely dating to the early 18th century.
