Description
There are two unidentified monuments located in the churchyard about 5 metres south of the porch of the Church of St George. These are a pair of chest tombs, both likely dating from the late 17th century.
The eastern tomb is made of Ham stone and has its base buried. It features a plain north side, a semi-circular arched panel with imposts, a keystone, and egg-and-dart ornamentation at each end, along with two panels on the south side. The frieze is plain, and it has a cyma-recta coving leading to a heavy flat top. The inscription on this tomb is badly worn.
The western tomb is also constructed of Ham stone and has its base buried. It has plain sides and flanks, with incised decoration on the north side, and similarly features a cyma-recta coving to a heavy flat top. Its inscription is also badly worn.
