Description

Two unidentified monuments are located immediately west of the south porch in the churchyard of the Church of St. James. These are two short chest tombs, likely from the late 18th century, made of limestone. They feature flat tops, moulded plinths, and cappings on their bases. Both tombs have indented corners and plain recessed side panels. The tomb to the south has roundels on its ends, while the tomb to the north has more elaborate mouldings and crests at its ends.
