Fleeming and Collitt Monuments 2.5 Metres South West of Porch of Church of All Saints

The Fleeming and Collitt monuments are two monumental slabs located approximately 2.5 metres south-west of the porch of the Church of All Saints. The slabs date from around 1682 and 1723 and are made of sandstone, both featuring a rectangular shape.

The northern slab commemorates Samuel Collitt, who died in 1682. It has a border of foliated scrolls that continues around the top as an arched band of primitive gadrooning, with winged angel heads in the corners. The inscription begins with the word "Here," accompanied by a raised decorated initial "H" in a sunk panel, and continues with "Lyeth ye Remaines what mortality hath left..." The slab also includes later additions for Martha, his wife, who died in 1721, and another Martha who passed away in 1748.

The southern slab commemorates Martha, the daughter of William Fleeming of Castleford, who died in 1723. This slab features a trailing vine border and an arched head that contains the word "Here" in large raised letters, surrounded by foliage. The sunk spandrels include stylised tulips, and the finely lettered inscription concludes with a verse.
