Description
There are two identical chest tombs belonging to the Edwards family, located in the churchyard 20 meters northeast of the chancel at the Church of St Laurence. These tombs date from around 1778. Each tomb is made of ashlar stone and stands on a moulded plinth. They feature three-quarter Tuscan columns on the north and south sides, and two additional columns on the east and west ends. The tombs have shields in relief with dedicatory inscriptions, the earliest of which is for Edith Edwards, who died in 1698. She was reinterred in 1778 following the death of John Edwards Junior, at which time both tombs were constructed.
