Three tomb chests with side walls abutting one another, to Richard Lonsdale (d.1776) Ellen Lonsdale (d.1770) and John Lonsdale (d.1816). Dressed stone with panelled sides, lettered and decorated lids. The three lids are in matching style, with lengthy inscriptions in shouldered panels, the spandrels in the upper corners decorated in relief with winged faces in primitive style. The inscription of the first identifies Richard Lonsdale of this Town "Corn Chandler", the 2nd gives Ellen as wife of John Lonsdale "MERCHANT of this Town", the word "merchant" appearing in a hollow caused by erasure of some other word.
