Description
This is a pair of chest tombs located to the southeast of the Church of Saint Mary, dating from around 1680 to 1700. They are likely associated with members of the Conwy family. Each tomb features arcaded panels on the long sides, adorned with a guilloche frieze and fluted angle columns. The shorter sides display shields of arms and angels. Additionally, there is a guilloche frieze at the margins of the inscribed slabs, although the inscriptions are badly worn and illegible.
