Description
There are two tomb chests located approximately 5 metres south-east of the chancel porch of the Church of All Hallows. These tomb chests date from around 1759 and 1782 and are made of sandstone, featuring moulded edges and fluted corners.
The eastern chest has arched relief decoration at the head and crude winged angels in the corners. It is dedicated to Joseph Horeton of Clayton, a surgeon and apothecary who died in 1759 at the age of 44, as well as his son who died in 1752.
The western chest has a simple moulded edge and is dedicated to Sarah Croft, the wife of Isaac Croft of Leeds and daughter of George and Sarah Dyson of Wheatley Hill, who died in 1782. It also commemorates George Croft, who died in 1786 at the age of 58, along with other family members who passed away between 1754 and 1785.
