Description
Gravestone located approximately 15 metres west of the Church of All Saints, dated 1746, commemorates Thomas Chippendale. It is made of gritstone and stands upright at about 80 centimetres high. The gravestone features finely-tooled egg and dart moulding along the edges and a triangular pediment topped with a winged head. The lettering is finely cut but has weathered over time, reading: "Near this Place Lies in - / terr'd the Body of Tho / Chippendale of Ripley / (who) died Sept 2(?5) 1746 / In the 6(?3) year of his Age". The Chippendale family resided in Ripley for many years; a Thomas Chippendale worked as a craftsman on the estate from 1735 to 1736, and his father was an estate joiner. In 1752, William Chippendale conducted a detailed survey of Ripley village. This family is believed to be connected to Thomas Chippendale the cabinet maker (1718-79). The gravestone is situated opposite those of Ralph Sauby and Ralph Robinson.
