Description
There are two medieval stone coffins located next to the north wall of the Church of All Saints. They are likely from the late medieval period. One coffin is made of gritstone, while the other is made of magnesian limestone. Both coffins are simply tapered at the foot and hollowed out to accommodate a body and head. One of the coffins was discovered in 1820 during the construction of the vault for the family of Reverend R. Hemington, as noted by H. Speight in his 1902 work on Lower Wharfedale.
