Description
Three white monuments in the churchyard, located between 0.5 and 3 metres south of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, consist of a group of three chest tombs dating from the late 17th century to the early 19th century. They are made of limestone. The easternmost tomb is dedicated to William White, who died in 1823. It features a plinth, two shaped fielded panels with spandrels, fielded pilasters, and a moulded flat top. The southern tomb is also for William White, who died in 1718, and has two recessed moulded panels along with a cavetto-moulded flat top. The tomb closest to the nave is for Henry White, who died in 1674. This tomb includes one recessed moulded panel on the main sides and a cavetto-moulded flat top with roll moulding. Notably, the inscription on this tomb records Henry White as Messenger to three kings: James, Charles I, and Charles II.
