Description
The Sikes tomb chest, located approximately 7 metres south-south-west of the Church of St. Cuthbert, is a mid-18th century structure that has been altered. It commemorates Catherine, the wife of William Sikes, who died in 1742. The tomb chest is made of sandstone and features panelled sides with rusticated quoins. The lid has a shouldered round-arched panel with a moulded surround and a fluted keystone, adorned with stylised winged angel heads in the spandrels. An elegant inscription begins with a raised decorated initial "H". Additional inscriptions commemorate William, the son, who died in 1746; William himself, who died in 1764; and Thomas, another son, who died in 1834. Modern lettered panels have been inserted at each end.
