Description
There are two unidentified memorials located approximately 16 meters south-west of the porch door at the Church of St Giles.
The first memorial is a chest tomb from the early 18th century, made of limestone. It features a heavy cyma top with lyre ends and has tripartite inscription panels on the north and south sides, although the inscriptions are not legible. At the time of the survey, the tomb was almost sunk into the ground.
The second memorial is also a chest tomb from the early 18th century, constructed of limestone. It has a moulded top with quarter balusters and high relief carved ends. There is a deep fielded inscription panel on the north side and a baroque cartouche on the south side, but the inscriptions are not legible, and this tomb was partly sunk into the ground at the time of the survey.
Both memorials are examples of the Cotswold baroque style.
