Description
This description covers a group of three monuments located in the churchyard about 5 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Mary. These monuments are 18th-century chest tombs made of dressed stone. They are oblong in shape and sit on moulded plinths.
The tomb nearest to the aisle is partially sunken and has some remnants of lettering on the north and south sides, with a slab top divided into two sections and a scotia moulding around the lower edge. The central tomb has a collapsed chest, but its plinth, entablature, and hipped slab top are still intact. The tomb furthest from the aisle features corner urn pilasters and a cambered top with an astragal moulding around the edge, along with some remains of lettering on the north and south sides.
