Four typical 13th c stone coffins. Three are at 'A', beneath an
old yew tree in St. Mary's Churchyard, and one is at 'B' in the
gardens of Breamore House.
According to an undated Guide to Breamore they are from the
Monk's Cemetery of Breamore Priory (SU 11 NE 12) and they are
identical to those in the Canon's Burial ground there. (2)
