Description

This description covers a group of three chest tombs located in the churchyard about 10 metres south of the south-east corner of the Church of All Saints. These tombs date from the 18th century and are made of Ham stone.

The first tomb, known as the Templeman monument, is situated approximately 9 metres south of the church. It features a chest tomb design with its base buried. Each face has one fielded panel, and the flanks are adorned with three-panel pilasters. The shallow hipped top has rounded leading edges and is finished with moulded coving. This monument commemorates Richard Templeman, who died in 1777.

The second tomb is an unidentified monument located about 2 metres east of the Templeman monument. It also has a chest tomb design, with its base buried. Each face features one fielded panel, and the flanks have fluted pilasters. The hipped top is finished with moulded coving, but the inscription is no longer legible.

The third tomb, another unidentified monument, is positioned about 2 metres south of the second tomb. This chest tomb has its base buried as well, with one panel on each end and two panels on each flank, all featuring wave-mould borders. There is no frieze, and the flanks have fluted pilasters. The heavy hipped top, which has cyma-recta coving, is damaged at the east end, and the inscription is badly worn.
