Description
The Heathcoat tomb is a chest tomb located in St Peter's churchyard, 25 meters north of the north aisle chapel in Tiverton. It was probably built in the mid 19th century and is made of white stone, standing on a plinth of darker stone that once supported an iron railing. The tomb features a moulded base and cap with pilaster strips at each corner.
On the south side, there is an inscription that reads: "In the Vault beneath are deposited the remains of Ann, the Wife of John Heathcoat, who departed this Life Nov. 27th, 1831. Aged 54 Years. Also John Heathcoat, who departed this Life, Jany. 18th 1861. Aged 77 Years." The tomb also commemorates Heathcoat's three daughters: Eloise (died 1880), Anne (died 1834) and her husband Samuel Amory (died 1857), and Caroline (died 1877) and her husband Ambrose Brewin (died 1855). Both Amory and Brewin were business partners of Heathcoat.
