Robinson Tomb Circa 22 Metres South Of Chancel Of Church Of St Mary

The Robinson tomb, located approximately 22 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St. Mary, dates from around 1825 and commemorates Jane Robinson, the wife of Christopher Robinson, a blacksmith, along with members of their families until 1850. The headstone is made of sandstone ashlar and stands about 1.7 metres high with a shaped top. The top panel features a low relief design that includes an hourglass, a skeleton, a cherub head with wings, and a serpent and dove framing a book inscribed with the motto "BE YE/WISE/AS/SER/PENTS/AND/HARM/LESS/AS DOVES." There is also a ribbon beside the serpent that reads "ETERNITY HOW LONG." The inscription is well-cut, and the rear of the tomb bears a long verse along with the signature "T. SNOWBALL FECIT" enclosed in a wreath at the foot.
