Description

Six monuments are located in the churchyard between 1 metre and 5 metres north of the chancel of the Church of St George. These six chest tombs date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are made of limestone, each featuring a different design. The tomb closest to the chancel is dedicated to Sarah Cullurne, who died in 1864, and has fielded panels, quarter balusters, and a weathered top. The next pair of tombs to the north has two panels on the main sides; the western one features guilloche ornamented pilasters, while the eastern one has lozenge decoration around the panels, likely dating from around 1700, both topped with ogee moulding. The next pair to the north has shield-shaped or rectangular fielded panels, with the eastern tomb inscribed to William Matravers, who died in 1780. The single tomb furthest north in the group has an oval moulded panel on its north side, floral drops at the corners, and a pulvinated frieze on its flat top.
