Description

There are three unidentified chest tombs located in the churchyard, positioned between approximately 1.5 meters and 4 meters east of the east wall of the nave at the Church of St. Lawrence. These tombs date from the mid-18th century and are made of stone.

The nearest tomb features a flat lid with a moulded edge, long sides that have a central panel framed by tall ends adorned with scrolls. The south end displays an oval coat of arms, while the north end is decorated with framed foliage.

To the east is a shorter chest tomb, also with a flat lid and moulded edge. This tomb has quarter square corner balusters and raised rectangular panels on the sides, framed by bolection moulding. The south end is embellished with a crown and fronds, while the north end features an hourglass, inverted torches, and foliage. It has a moulded base.

Further east is another tomb with a flat lid and moulded edge, where the long sides are framed by returns of the ends. The south end has an oval design, while the north end displays the same coat of arms found on the first memorial.
