Description

There are two chest tombs located to the south of the nave of the Church of the Holy Trinity, dating from the late 18th century. They are made of ironstone and feature quarter baluster corners. The tomb on the east side has inscriptions on two panels along each long side. These inscriptions read: "Thomas Ratliffe died Jan 17 1775 Aged 70 years," "Elizabeth Ratliffe died Jan 11 1746 Aged 42 years," "Edward Cooke died 24 July 1794 Aged 60 years," and "Mary Cooke died 27 Jan 1809 Aged 75 years."

The tomb on the west is raised on a plinth and is enclosed by early 19th-century cast iron railings that have spear finials and standards at the corners with urn finials. One face of this tomb is covered with ivy, but the other face bears the inscription: "Beneath...Jane Ratliffe Daughter of Tho & Emma Ratliffe departed this life June 16 1790 in the 23rd year of her age." These tombs are adjacent to Holy Trinity Church, with which they share group value.
