Description
Three chest tombs, heavily overgrown, date from the 18th century and are located about 9 meters southwest of the south porch of the Church of St Mary.
The first tomb, an early 18th-century monument, features two sunk oval panels on each side surrounded by ornate foliate scroll borders, with scrolled angle piers and a cartouche at the west end. It has a coved capstone.
The second tomb, situated 2 meters north of the first, is a mid-18th-century monument that includes two raised shield plaques on each side, fluted angle piers, a raised shaped plaque at the west end, and a moulded base and cornice with a pulvinated frieze.
The third tomb, located 1 meter east of the first, is a monument to R. Hollis, dating from around 1800. It is made of pennant stone and features a moulded capstone, lyre ends, and slab sides. The south side displays a low relief scroll between plaques, while the north side has an urn or trophy between. The inscription commemorates Robert Hollis, who died in 1791.
