Description

A pair of large monuments located in the churchyard, 9 meters south of the chancel of the Church of St. Andrew, date from the mid 19th century. These are two chest tombs featuring a moulded table and base with recessed corner balusters. The first tomb, from the north, commemorates William Stratton Large, who died in 1824, his wife Elizabeth, who died in 1839, and their two children. The second tomb honors Robert Large, who died in 1789, his wife Sarah, who died in 1792, and their daughter, and it includes a well-crafted inscription.
