Description
The three Hinckley family tombs, located immediately east of Christ Church, were constructed between 1851 and 1870. They are made of ashlar and feature a plinth with traceried panelled sides, each ending with an armorial bearing and motto. The tops of the tombs display a diapered pattern and scrolled ends, with inscriptions in black letter. The central tomb is dedicated to Ellen Jane Hinckley of Beacon Place, who died in 1870 and was the foundress of the church. The southern tomb belongs to her son from a previous marriage, Hugh Woodhouse Acland, who died in 1851 and was the first person buried in the churchyard. The northern tomb is for her husband, Richard Hinckley, who died in 1865. Ellen Hinckley's two daughters from her first marriage to William Robinson are buried in the south choir aisle of the cathedral, where there is a notable monument by Chantrey.
