Description
The Moore memorial is a tombstone located approximately fifteen metres south of the nave of the Church of St Agatha, dating from around 1758. It is made of ashlar sandstone and features a bronze plaque. The stone has a triangular head and on the east side, there is an aedicule with an open pediment that includes a bas relief of an angel's head and wings, along with an open book and hourglass, framed by fluted pilasters. The plaque commemorates John Moore senior, a brazier from Gilling who died in 1758, his wife Elizabeth who died in 1753, and their son John Moore junior, also a brazier, who died in 1758. On the west side, there is another bas relief of an angel's head and wings, along with ten lines of verse that recount the fate of the younger John Moore, who was murdered on the Gilling-Richmond road near Aske Hall.
