The style of the tombs suggests that the date of death is closely contemporary with the date of construction ie. c1855.

Incised corner pilasters, incised panels between. Slab with central ridge. Oldest inscription to Simon Arorus (?), died 1853. The tomb is surrounded by elaborate and pretty wrought iron railings. Dog bars with trefoil heads. The top rail is arched and hooped.
