Description
There are two chest tombs located in the churchyard, between 3 and 7 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. The southern tomb dates from the early 18th century and is a wide 'double' tomb featuring richly carved drapery, a skull and crossbones on the south side, fielded pilasters, a moulded cornice, and a moulded flat top. The north side of this tomb has two octagonal panels. The late 18th-century tomb is situated close to the east corner of the south chapel and has two recessed moulded panels along with a moulded flat top. The inscriptions on both tombs are illegible.
