Description
A group of four chest tombs is located in the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Rood, approximately 4 to 8 meters south of the porch. The tombs are made of limestone. The first two tombs, which are the closest to the church porch, date from the mid to late 17th century and have no visible inscriptions, featuring thick moulded cappings. The third tomb, situated about 2 meters south of the previous two, is dedicated to Dorothy Webb, who died in 1687, and Timothy Webb, who died in 1721. This tomb has cartouche-like inscription plaques on the north and south sides, with single cherubs' heads in the upper corners. It also features foliate decoration on the sides of the lyre-shaped ends, a bust likely representing Timothy Webb at the west end with an open book below, and a skull encircled by a foliate motif at the east end. The tomb is topped with a thick capping that has a moulded margin. The fourth tomb, located immediately east of the third, matches the design of the first two tombs.
