Description
There are two 18th-century chest tombs located in the churchyard, approximately 11 meters south-south-west of the south transept of the Church of St Peter and St Paul.
The first, known as the Cabill monument, is about 10 meters south-south-west of the transept. It is made of Ham stone and features a moulded plinth with one ovolo-mould panel on each face. The flanks have pilasters carved with vases of flowers, and there is no frieze. The heavy hipped top has rounded leading edges and is an unusual version of this type. This monument commemorates Hadrian (?) Cabill, who died in 1704, along with others.
The second, the Weare monument, is located about 12 meters south-south-west of the transept. It is also made of Ham stone and has a moulded plinth on a step. Each face features one fielded panel with single-panel pilasters on the flanks and no frieze. The shallow hipped top has moulded coving and rounded leading edges. This monument commemorates John Weare, who died in 1765.
