Description
The listing describes a pedestal tomb and four headstones located approximately 17 meters northwest of the tower in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary. These monuments date from the 18th century and are made of limestone.
The pedestal tomb is notable for its height, featuring a high moulded capping with a flat cornice and additional moulding. It has raised moulding with circular panels on the east and west sides, and sunk embellishments on the north and south. The base is high and moulded, resting on a two-step sub-base and platform, and it was formerly enclosed by a railing. While most of the inscriptions are illegible, the date 1774 can be deciphered. A survey from 1879 records individuals named Joseph Lewis, who died in 1807, and John Gardner, who died in 1774.
Flanking the pedestal tomb are two headstones on either side, one to the north and one to the south. The two headstones on the left (north) have segmental heads and feature rich rococo cartouches adorned with cherubs' heads. The headstone on the right is similar, showcasing a well-crafted cartouche surround.
