Pair of Table Tombs Approximately 15 Metres West of Church of All Saints

A pair of table tombs stand approximately 15 metres west of the Church of All Saints. The tombs date to 1723, 1781, and 1800, and are memorials to Ralph Sanby (died 1723), Ralph Robinson (died 1800), and his wife Judith (died 1781), among others. Constructed from stone, the earlier tomb on the left features a large slab with hollow-moulded edges, resting on six pillars. Each pillar has a cavetto-moulded base and cap, alongside a moulded central band, with the central pillars set diagonally. A deeply cut inscription records that Ralph Sanby was a servant to Sir William and Sir John Ingilby for many years, covering a period of recovery from civil unrest and the development of the Ripley estates. The tomb's style is similar to one in Hampsthwaite churchyard, dated 1711. The later tomb on the right has a single slab with hollow and roll mouldings to the edge, supported by six Tuscan-style columns. Its inscription notes that Ralph Robinson served the Ingilby family in varied capacities for 70 years, the last 40 as steward, and highlights his responsibility during the rebuilding of Ripley Castle and Sir John's absence due to creditors in 1794. The tomb's position near the path between the church and castle is significant.
