Description
This group of five chest tombs is located in the churchyard approximately 2 meters southwest of the south aisle of the Church of St. Martin. They date from the mid 18th century to the early 19th century and are made of sandstone and limestone.
From west to east, the first tomb features corner balusters and is inscribed to Absalom Perrett, who died in 1810. The second tomb also has corner balusters and oval side panels, inscribed to William Millard, who died in 1795, his wife Margaret, who died in 1772, and their daughter Elizabeth, who died in 1776. This tomb has 19th-century inscriptions on the ends. The next two tombs also have corner balusters but were very overgrown at the time of the survey in September 1985. The fifth tomb features corner balusters and side panels, flanked by panels with tripod-mounted urns on the south side and floral drops on the north side. It is inscribed to Daniel Tindale, who died in 1734.
