Description
Two Heaton monuments are located close to the junction of the south aisle and chancel of the Church of St. Luke and All Saints. These monumental slabs date from the early 18th century and commemorate (i) John Heaton, who died in 1715 at the age of 59, and (ii) Robert, the son of John Heaton, who died in 1713 at the age of 30, along with Philip, another son of John Heaton, who died in 1723 at the age of 36. Made of magnesian limestone, both monuments are rectangular and share a matching style. They feature a scalloped semi-circular band around the head, which continues as an incised double margin on each side, finishing in scrolls at the feet. The inscriptions include simple incised seriffed lettering topped by a raised and decorated initial "H". An addition to the first monument commemorates Samuell Heaton, son of John Heaton, who died in 1782 at the age of 88.
