Description
There are two chest tombs located approximately 10 metres south of the porch of the Church of St Oswald. These tombs date from the early 18th century and are made of gritstone. The southern tomb features a roll-moulded plinth with two courses of stone blocks that support a thick cyma-moulded slab, although the inscription was undecipherable during the last survey. The northern tomb is similar in design, but its plinth is overgrown and the stone blocks are weathered.
