Description
The Bowness Table Tomb, located in the churchyard to the south of the chancel, is a Grade II listed structure. This table-tomb features square corner supports and has a badly worn inscription. A small brass plate affixed near the bottom of the slab reads, "Obit William Bowness December 11th 1767 Aged 82; Mary his Wife June 27th 1763 Aged 73. He gave in his lifetime Fifty Pounds to the School of Bolton." The table-tomb is likely that of another William Bowness, as a panel inside the church records that in his will, dated February 9th 1709, he left "... an annual rent of ten shillings to be distributed upon his tomb stone to the poor of Bolton ... on the feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle yearly for ever."
