Description
Three monuments are located in the churchyard about 20 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St Peter and St Paul. The first is an unidentified headstone from the 18th century made of Ham stone, measuring approximately one metre by one metre and 120 millimetres thick. It features a symmetrical top with three semi-circular-arched panels that merge into each other, framing two angel heads and a central hour-glass, along with sidescrolls and an ornamental carved panel with a small tassel centre-drop. The inscription is worn.
The second monument is an unidentified chest tomb from the early 18th century, also made of Ham stone. It has a double step base with a moulded plinth and one ovolo-mould panel on each face, flanked by fluted pilasters. The north face has a centre drop, and there is no frieze. The hipped top features moulded coving with rounded leading edges. This tomb commemorates Elizabeth, wife of John, although the death date is not readable; various 18th-century death dates are noted on the south side.
The third monument is another unidentified headstone, located about 4 metres west of the chest tomb. This 18th-century headstone is made of Ham stone and measures approximately 600 millimetres by 750 millimetres and 80 millimetres thick. It has a semi-circular arched panel with fluted sideshafts and scrolls above. The inscription is worn, but the death date may be 1726.
