Description
A pair of Mason monuments are located in the churchyard, approximately 7-9 metres south of the south transept of the Church of St Michael. These two chest tombs date from the late 18th century and are made of limestone. The first tomb has a corniced table with panelled corner and centre pilasters that divide raised shields, commemorating Anne Mason, who died in 1793. The second chest tomb is similar in style, but the inscription is illegible.
