Description
This is a group of three chest tombs located in the churchyard, four meters south of the south transept of the Church of St. Sampson. They date from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone.
From east to west, the first tomb features a moulded table and base with recessed fluted pilasters and incised oval panels, dedicated to Charles Poulton, who died in 1806. The second tomb also has a moulded table and base, with fluted end pilasters and fielded end panels, although the inscription has been erased. The third and largest tomb has a moulded table and base, recessed corner balusters, and lightly incised side panels, commemorating Charles and Ann Poulton, who died around 1785.
