Description
There are three chest tombs located in the churchyard, about 4 meters southeast of the south aisle of the Church of All Saints.
The northern tomb dates from the 17th century and was altered in the 18th century, featuring inserted panels. It has unidentified stone panels, possibly slate, with a Ham stone top. The tomb is ledger topped and has a cyma recta moulded cornice, with an ovolo moulded bay visible on the west end. The north front is inscribed, with the name of John Hastings legible on the east end. The north front is obscured by the adjoining tomb, and the top is damaged and partly covered by vegetation as of May 1985.
The central chest tomb is from the 18th century, with a Ham stone top and unidentified stone below. It is also ledger topped, featuring a moulded cornice and a fluted pilaster visible on the center of the south side. The top is damaged and obscured by the proximity of the adjoining tombs and by vegetation.
The southern tomb dates from the 19th century and possibly has a Portland stone slab with a brick plinth. It is ledger topped with an inscription on the top, which was not legible at the time of the survey. This tomb is overgrown and included primarily as part of the group.
