Description
This is a row of five headstones located approximately 0.75 metres east of the south porch of the Church of St. Peter, dating from the late 17th century. They are made of limestone and each features inscription plaques set in carved frames. Two of the headstones have scrolled frames adorned with cherub's heads, while one has an oval plaque framed by deeply cut scrolls and a skull at its base. Unfortunately, no inscriptions remain on any of the headstones.
