Description
The Sutton monument is a headstone located 10 meters south of the porch of the Church of St Cuthbert in Southport. It was likely created between 1780 and 1820 and commemorates John Sutton and other members of the Sutton family, although their dates of death are not provided. The monument is made of sandstone and features a short, finely-dressed slab with a shouldered top. It has a scribed margin and a sunk oval panel at the head, which displays a skull-and-crossbones motif along with the following inscriptions: "Death how terrible is thy / approach" (with decorative flourishes on the last word), "JOHN SUTTON junior AEt 42", "ALICE SUTTON - AEt 17", "WM. SUTTON Senior AEt 88", and "BETTY SUTTON - AEt 95". The lower part of the slab is currently buried and may contain additional inscriptions. This monument is part of a group that includes the Church of St Cuthbert, the Ball monument, and the Meadow monument.
