The stones have deeply carved and finely ornamented lettering typical of the period and the group represents some of the earliest marked burials surviving from the setting of the medieval chapel. HISTORICAL NOTE: the chapel became the Church of St Matthew mid C18, was enlarged 1819, again in 1840, had clock, spire and bells added 1854, was repaired and extended 1865 and replaced by the present church (qv) in 1898. The building was demolished in 1935. A Roman altar was found in the northern part of the graveyard in 1879.
