Description

This is a pair of headstones made of limestone, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. The headstone on the left features a square inscription plaque that is framed by scrolls and flowers, with a fragmentary inscription that reads "In memory of Mary wife ..." but no date is visible. The headstone on the right has a rectangular plaque framed by leaf scrolls and is topped with a segmental pediment that includes a skull. The inscription on this headstone is weathered and illegible. These headstones are located approximately 4 meters south of the southwest corner of the south aisle at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul.
