Description
There are two chest tombs located about 3 metres south-west of the tower of the Church of St. Michael in the churchyard. The tomb closest to the church is the earliest, dated 1779, while the other has an early 19th-century inscription but is likely also from the 18th century. Both tombs are made of dressed stone and share a similar design, featuring moulded plinths, rectangular rests with panelled pilasters, fielded inscription panels, and hipped slab tops with moulded lower edges.
