Description
This is a group of three contiguous chest tombs located about 4 meters south of the chancel wall of the Parish Church of St Bartholomew. They date from the early 18th century and are made of limestone. The tombs feature a Baroque design with moulded tops, lyre ends, and cartouche panels. Unfortunately, the inscriptions on the tombs are not legible. At the time of the survey, the tombs were in poor condition, with falling and loose tops, sunk bases, and the tomb closest to the chancel wall being badly broken. The tombs are set so closely together that they touch at the edges.
