Description
There are six chest tombs located in the churchyard, between 8 and 14 metres south of the Church of St Leonard. These tombs date from the 18th century and early 19th century and are made of limestone. The westernmost tomb is dedicated to Alice Porter, who died in 1828. It features raised panels, scrolled decoration, and a heavy top adorned with pediments and acroteria. Next to it, there is a pair of similar tombs for the Watts and Bartlett families, which have reeded quarter shafts at the corners, grooved panels, and fluted friezes, topped with shallow weathered surfaces.
To the south, there is a tomb for the Burridge family, dated 1788. This tomb has three fielded panels on the south side, an oval panel on the north, quarter balusters, a fluted frieze, and a flat top. Two tombs are located to the northeast for the Watts and Bartlett families. One is for John Watts, who died in 1800, featuring two panels, floral carvings, quarter balusters, and a fluted frieze with a weathered top. The other is for James Bartlett, who died in 1822, which also has two panels, a low-relief carved urn, and a fluted frieze.
