Description

Two adjacent tombstones, dating from the mid-18th century, are located approximately 7 metres south-east of the south-east corner of the chancel of the Church of St Peter and St Felix. They are made of ashlar sandstone. The slab to the south features a shaped top designed like a scrolled pediment, with an egg-and-dart motif framing an angel's head in the tympanum. This slab commemorates Samuel Stapylton senior, who died in 1760, and includes a decorative frame of egg-and-dart motif. The back of this slab displays crossed bones and other motifs in bas relief. The slab to the north has a worn wave-shaped top, moulded from double cyma shapes, and commemorates Samuel Stapylton, the son of the above, who died in 1758. The back of this slab features a philosophical poem.
