Description
This is a group of three chest tombs located to the southwest of the Church of St Bartholomew in Crewkerne, dating from the early 19th century.
The first tomb is situated approximately 6 meters to the south-south-west of the south porch. It features a very shallow hipped top with cyma-moulding along the edge and the plinth, fluted pilasters with a convex lower part, and one recessed panel on each side, although the inscriptions are worn.
The second tomb is about 7 meters to the southwest of the south porch. It has a hipped top with cyma moulding on the edge and the plinth, raised-and-fielded panels on the long sides with pilasters, and a recessed panel at each end. The inscriptions are worn and mostly illegible, but the names Marsh and the years 1811 and 1827 are visible on the sides.
The third tomb is located approximately 20 meters to the southwest of the south front. It also has a hipped top with a cyma moulded edge, one raised-and-fielded panel on each side, and fluted pilasters with a convex lower part on the long sides. The inscriptions are worn, but the name Henry Higgins and the years 1809 and 1861 can be read.
