Description

The Walton tomb, located about 10 metres south of the Church of St. Thomas on the east side of the path, is a Grade II listed headstone commemorating Ann and Michael Walton, who died in 1763 and 1770 at the ages of 87 and 80. This tomb features a moulded, square-topped sandstone slab that stands approximately 1.5 metres high. The inscription reads: 'He that like us/hath numbered fourscore years/must need be weary of this vale of tears/desire to be translated/to the place where we/shall ever see our saviour face/cease from sorrows here/yea cease from sin/and a Blest eternity begin/below our cares are done/all our accounts are even/and now we are gone/(obscured by earth) heaven.'
