Description
The Aston memorial is a chest tomb located approximately 2 meters south of the nave of the Church of St Peter. It dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of sandstone ashlar. The tomb has a rectangular plan, featuring a moulded plinth and capping, along with square corner balusters. The round-cornered top ledger commemorates Thomas Aston of Chapel Chorlton, who died in 1822, as well as various other family members. There are two inscription panels on the north side dedicated to his daughters, Jane, who died in 1800, and Anne, who died in 1808, although the lettering appears to be from a later date.
