Description
This description covers three chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between 3 and 8 metres north of the chancel of the Church of St Peter in Monkton Farleigh. These monuments likely date from the 18th century and are made of limestone.
The northernmost tomb features a moulded plinth, two shield-shaped fielded panels, scrolled pilasters, and a moulded cornice leading to a flat top, although the inscription is illegible. The southwest tomb is dedicated to James Cottle, who died in 1767, and includes two shield-shaped fielded panels, fielded pilasters adorned with rosettes, and a moulded cornice to a flat top. The southeastern tomb also has a moulded plinth, two plain recessed panels on the main sides, a moulded flat top, and an illegible inscription.
