Description

This chest tomb, dating from around 1789, is located approximately 5 meters south of the chancel of the Church of All Saints. It is made of ashlar and designed in a classical style. The tomb features a plinth and a bellied front that extends around the sides. Each side has a rectangular central panel with a guillouche border, while the ends are decorated with an oval scolloped fan design. A fluted frieze runs along the top. The tomb commemorates Sarah, the daughter of Lancelot and Susanna Dickinson of Harewood, who died on June 25, 1789, at the age of 21. An inscription on the tomb reads:

"Kind Angels watch this sleeping Dust
Till Jesus comes to raise the Just;
Then may she wake with sweet Surprise
And in her Savious's Image rise."
