SP4735 ADDERBURY HIGH STREET (West side) Adderbury East 7/54 Group of 4 chest tombs 1m to 4m E of chancel of Church of St. Mary GV II 4 chest tombs. Late C17, 1705, 1721 and early C18. Marlstone and limestone. The most northerly, a rectangular marlstone chest with deeply-projecting moulded base and cover, has a small fielded inscription panel on each side, a shield on one end, and at the other a surround of drapery enclosing the raised legend "WL/1705". The inscriptions are in Latin and commemorate William, Bishop of Llandaff, formerly Vicar of Adderbury. The next, a plain marlstone chest with shallow incised panels and a moulded base and cover, is probably early C18, but the inscription on the cover is largely illegible. The late-C17 limestone chest, 1 metre east of the south-east buttress, has deep moulded base and cover, and has one side and one end decorated with square panels divided by a central baluster in relief; the other end has an inscription panel, now illegible. To east of it is a rectangular marlstone chest with moulded base and cover, square recessed corner balusters and fielded inscription panels; the earliest inscription commemorates John Lovesey (d.1721).
