Description
This is a group of three chest tombs located in the churchyard about 7 metres south-west of the nave of the Church of St Peter and St Paul. The tombs date from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The first tomb, an unidentified monument from the late 18th century, is made of Ham stone with its base buried. It features fielded panels on each side and flanks, along with three-panelled pilasters on the flanks. The top is hipped with a moulded coving and rounded leading edges, but the inscription is not legible.
The second tomb is the Giles monument, dating from the 17th century, also made of Ham stone with a buried base. It has plain sides and flanks, and a deep cyma-recta coving leading to a heavy hipped top. This tomb commemorates Mary, the wife of John Giles, who died in 1656.
The third tomb, another unidentified monument from the 18th century, is similarly constructed of Ham stone with its base buried. It has one fielded panel on each side and flank, lacks pilasters or a frieze, and features a moulded coving to a shallow hipped top with rounded leading edges. The inscription is also not legible.
