Description
A group of three chest tombs, located approximately 15 meters south of the southeast corner of the Parish Church, consists of four limestone tombs of varying styles and dates. Three of the tombs are arranged in a row running north to south, while the fourth tomb is situated 4 meters to the east of this row. The easternmost tomb dates from the mid to late 18th century and features a hipped top with a moulded cornice and reeded Ionic pilasters at the corners and centers of the sides. The southernmost tomb is from the early 18th century, also with a hipped top, moulded cornice, and plinth, and has semi-circular ends that are set back with moulded panels. The central tomb, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, is designed in a Grecian style, featuring a hipped top and moulded cornice, tapering toward the plinth, with pilasters on the long sides and broken stone rings at the ends.
