Description

This pair of chest tombs is located 20 metres south west of the tower of the Church of St Andrew. They are made of Doulting ashlar. The tomb closest to the church belongs to Thomas Whatley and dates from the early 18th century. It features a moulded plinth, elaborately decorated corner pilasters, and a memorial plaque in a moulded surround on either side, topped with a deeply chamfered and moulded cornice and a hipped top. The inscriptions are missing on the tomb furthest from the church, which is likely from the late 18th century. This tomb stands on a moulded plinth and has panelled sides, corner pilasters with acanthus decoration, a central fluted pilaster strip on each side, a decorated entablature, a moulded cornice, and a slightly hipped top.
