Description
The Critchlow Memorial and its railings are located 3 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St Luke. This chest tomb and railings, dating from around 1853, are possibly designed by William Butterfield. The memorial is made of stone and features a large Gothic chest that stands approximately 2 metres high, with miniature bays. It has a deep plinth adorned with an undercut cusped quatrefoil pattern, and is framed by carved gabletted pilasters that surround inscribed panels. Above these, there is a miniature blind arcaded frieze of pointed arches over trefoil heads. The structure is topped with a cavetto cornice that carries fleurons along the surbase, leading to a pitched and hipped block top with a trefoil edge frieze and cut lines that mimic scalloped tiles, all enclosed by a cruciform design. The surrounding wrought-iron railings, which have spike heads, are arranged in three bays over the tomb, forming a round-arched profile that is cusped within and decorated with circular and trefoil devices, spaced by cusped ridges.
