Lovering and Two Salcomb Monuments in the Churchyard of the Church of St Lawrence Circa 5 Metres East of Nave

The Lovering and two Salcomb monuments are chest tombs located in the churchyard of the Church of St. Lawrence, approximately 5 metres east of the nave.

The first tomb, about 5 metres north of the nave, is dedicated to Alice Salcomb, who died in 1768, and her daughter Mary, who died in 1773. It features a brick plinth with stone capping and a limestone tomb with sandstone capping. The north side has an oval inscription plaque adorned with raised four-petal flower decoration and foliate mouldings at the corners, along with marginal fielded panels on the left and right. The south side has a similar but illegible inscription plaque. The east end has a sunken panel depicting an open book on crossed palm leaves, with cable moulding and four-petal flower decoration below, and rosettes and egg and dart moulding above. The west end displays the faces of two winged cherubs with a crown of glory above, surrounded by clouds. The tomb originally lay within a cast iron railing.

The second tomb, located about 0.5 metres south of the first, is dedicated to Bodw-l William Lovering, dating from the 17th century. It is made of limestone with sandstone capping and features fielded inscription panels on the sides. The south side has an inscription to Bodw-l Lovering flanked by foliate scrollwork, while the north side has an incomplete inscription to Henry Clark, who died in 1830, with sunken marginal panels. The west end has the faces of two winged cherubs with clouds above and beams of light emanating from the bottom of the cloud. The east end has a square panel with a moulded margin, and the capping also features a moulded margin.

The third tomb, located about 0.5 metres south of the second, is dedicated to William Salcomb, who died in 1760, and his wife Rachel. It is made of limestone and has raised inscription panels on both sides, flanked by hanging foliate decoration, with sunken rectangular panels at either end. This tomb also originally stood within a cast iron railing.
