Description
The gravestone in the grounds of Carr House is an 18th-century memorial marking the burial of Richard Ashworth. It is made of local sandstone and is laid flat, aligned in a north-south direction. The gravestone is situated in the front garden of Carr House, surrounded by shrubbery, and can be accessed from the east via a path of crazy paving. It is set slightly below the level of the surrounding ground surface. At the head of the gravestone, there is a crudely carved skull and crossbones motif. The inscription is in large, thin lettering and reads: 'The Remains of Richard Ashworth / Here rest in Hope / He was born Feb 22 1677 / Died May 28 1751'.
