Description
The remains of two effigies, dating from the 15th century, are located in the churchyard, 2 meters south of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary. These effigies are made of dressed stone and feature figures in relief, although much of the detail has eroded over time. The male figure, positioned to the west, appears to have his feet on a wool sack, while the female figure to the east is better preserved. These effigies are primarily noted for their historical interest.
