Description
The pair of monuments in the churchyard, located about 25 metres southwest of the nave of the Church of St. Peter, are both 18th-century chest tombs.
The eastern tomb is made of Ham stone, with its base buried. It features one fielded panel on each face and three-panel pilasters on either side, without a frieze. The hipped top has moulded coving and rounded leading edges, although the inscriptions are not legible.
The western tomb is also constructed from Ham stone and has a moulded base. It includes panels framed with wave-moulding, with one panel at each end and two on each side, flanked by fluted pilasters. The hipped top has moulded coving and rounded leading edges. This tomb commemorates members of the Brom family, including Philip, who died in 1742.
