Description
The Agar tomb, located to the east of the tower of St. Hilda's Church, is a table tomb dating from the mid to late 18th century. Although burials are recorded from 1747 to 1784, the style of the tomb is more characteristic of the latter part of that period. It is made of sandstone and features a moulded slab that rests on a central upright panelled slab. The corners of the tomb have quadrant curves that lead to shallow serpentine-curved end panels. This tomb belongs to the family of John Agar, who was a significant benefactor to the local school and charities.
