Description
The chest tomb and three headstones, located approximately 3 meters south of the southeast corner of the south porch of the Church of All Saints, date from the 17th and 18th centuries and are made of ironstone. The chest tomb, which is early 18th century, features angle balusters, blank shields, and oval plaques on the north and south sides. To the north of the chest tomb is a late 17th-century headstone with an oval plaque framed by a carved wreath and a segmental pediment. The headstone to the south, also late 17th century, has a square inscription plaque framed by swags of flowers and a segmental pediment decorated with sunflowers and leaf scrolls. The headstone to the east includes a rectangular inscription plaque framed with leaf scrolls and a broken segmental pediment topped with a winged cherub's head. Unfortunately, no dates or names are visible on any of the stones. This group of memorials is significant as it enhances the pathway leading to the church from the south.
