Description

A C18 gravestone recording the burial of Richard Ashworth located in the front garden of Carr House in Rossendale

MATERIALS: Local sandstone.

PLAN: It is laid flat and aligned north-south.

DESCRIPTION: The gravestone is a smooth sawn local sandstone slab aligned north-south and located in the front garden of Carr House. It lies within an area of shrubbery and is approached from the east along a path of crazy paving. It is lying flat and is set slightly below the level of the surrounding ground surface. There is a crudely carved skull and crossbones motif at the head of the gravestone. The inscription has been executed 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'.
