Description
The tomb of John Nelson is located in the yard of the Church of St Peter and dates from 1774. It is a chest tomb made of stone, featuring simple panel sides and an inscription dedicated to John Nelson and his wife. The inscription includes a poem that reflects on their life and faith: "While we on Earth had our abode, We both agre'd to serve the Lord; And he was pleas'd as you may see, By Death, not long us parted be, Then he required the breath he gave Untill again he us restore A Life to live and Die no more." Additionally, there is a later inscription stating, "John Nelson was the coadjutor of John Wesley, and the pioneer of Methodism in Yorkshire."
