Description
There are two chest tombs located approximately 10 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St Oswald. They date from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and are made of limestone and gritstone. The southern tomb features end panels carved with a circular flower motif and stylised Corinthian pilasters at the corners. Its sides have a recessed central panel, but no inscription is legible on the roll moulded slab. The northern tomb has end panels with oval fan motifs set in recessed panels. Its top slab is cyma moulded, although the inscription is not decipherable. At the time of the last survey, both tombs showed significant wind scouring.
