Coleman Tomb In Holy Trinity Churchyard 4 Metres To East Of Apse

The Coleman Tomb, located in the Holy Trinity Churchyard, was erected for James Coleman who died in 1866, with a later inscription for his wife Ann who died in 1871. The tomb is made of Portland stone or weathered white marble and is raised on a York stone slab supported by brick walls. It features ornate cast iron railings that are fixed into the slab. The tomb is designed as a monolithic carved chest sarcophagus with bellied sides, supported by four animal legs with claw feet and wreathed knees. The top is weathered and has a carved palmette band, while the base is double chamfered. The elaborate railings include corner and central standards on each side, with knobs on the standards, linking rails, and scrolls.
