Description
The Deacon monument, located north of the apse at the east end of the Church of St Ann, is a tomb chest dating from the mid-18th century. It commemorates Thomas Deacon, who died in 1755, and his wife Sarah, who died in 1745. The monument is made of sandstone and features a rectangular lid with a scored double-line margin. The lid is raised over a cross at the head and is decorated with scrolls at the foot, surrounding an inscription. This inscription begins with a line of foreign characters and reads: "Here lie interred the Remains (which through Mortality are at present Corrupt but which shall one day most surely be raised again to Immortality and put on Incorruption of Thomas Deacon the greatest of Sinners and the most unworthy of primitive Bishops, who died the 16th February 1755 in the 56th Year of his Age." It is followed by a commemoration of Sarah and a scriptural quotation.
