Description
This group of six monuments is located in the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist, approximately 1 to 2 metres south of the south transept. The group includes two chest tombs and three early stone coffin lids and a headstone, all made of limestone.
One unidentified chest tomb is situated on the eastern edge of the group and dates from the mid-18th century, featuring quarter balusters at the corners and thick capping with a moulded margin. To the north, there are three early limestone coffin lids, which are believed to be the coffins of crusaders and may have originally been inside the church. The left-hand coffin lid is complete, while the other two are broken off at the bottom. Each of these lids has a simple raised cross on the upper surface.
To the west of the coffin lids is another unidentified low set chest tomb, also made of limestone, with stone-built construction and thick capping with a moulded margin. Additionally, there is a single headstone dedicated to Elizabeth Gill from the late 18th century, which features a winged angel's head at the top and cartouche-like foliate scrollwork surrounding it.
