Description
There are three unidentified monuments located in the churchyard, between 8 and 12 metres north of the Church of St James. These monuments date from the late 18th century and are made of limestone.
The southern tomb is a chest tomb featuring two oval fielded panels, fielded pilasters, and a cyma-moulded flat top. The north-western tomb is also a chest tomb, distinguished by a large egg and dart moulded oval panel with cherubs in the spandrels, carved drapery, and quarter balusters leading to a fluted frieze and a moulded weathered top. The pedestal tomb to the north-east has fluted chamfered corners, fielded panels, a fluted frieze, and a gadrooned curved top. All three monuments have illegible inscriptions.
