Description

Three chest tombs are located in the churchyard, 1 to 3 meters east of the south porch of the Church of St Leonard. These tombs date from the early to late 18th century and are made of limestone.

The first tomb is for Ann Mason, who died in 1744. It features angle balusters and three panels on the south side, decorated with egg-and-dart borders, and has Roman and italic incised lettering. The base is sunk, with an ovolo-moulded slab.

The second tomb is for Henry Telling, who died in 1790. This is a plain rectangular chest with single panels on each side, showcasing floridly elegant italic and boldly incised Roman lettering on the south side. It has a chamfered base and a cyma recta moulded slab.

The third tomb is for Elizabeth Hiscock, who died in 1724. Similar to the second, it is a plain rectangular chest with single panels on each side, featuring floridly elegant italic and boldly incised Roman lettering on the south side. The base is sunk, and the slab has a deep chamfer.
