Description

This is a pair of tombs located at the east end of the Church of St. Michael, commemorating Baron and Lady Willoughby de Eresby, both of whom died in 1865. The tombs are made of limestone ashlar, polished pink marble, and sandstone. They are designed as Gothic sarcophagi set on low plinths, featuring low pitched hipped tops supported by circular marble shafts with annular bases and stiff leaf foliate capitals. Each side of the tombs has three cusped sunk panels, with the central panels being segmental and flanked by pointed arches, all accented by annular angle shafts and sunk spandrels. The ends of the tombs have sunken cusped pointed panels that contain shields of arms and heraldic devices. Additionally, the sarcophagi are topped with moulded cornices adorned with fleurons.
