4/96 Altar tomb to south- east of chancel of Church of St Laurence

G.V. II*

Re-used C15 altar tomb, probably removed from church during mid C18 rebuilding. Constructed of unmortared sandstone blocks with trefoil-headed panelling; in the centre of each side is a shallow niche with ogee head under a crocketed gable. Top slab is later addition, probably late C18. Three brass plates bearing inscriptions are set in the slab (the bottom one, dated 1787, was temporarily removed in 1983); the earliest inscription, at the top reads: H.S.I. Guilielmus & Margareta Atkinson De Low Hall Qui Nomen & Mayoribus derivatum Immane quantum!. suis. Virtutibus Illustrobant. Quam boni; dicant Vicini recolentes Quam chari; Cognata desiderantes: Quam pii: Liberi lugentes. Haec Suis Valediscit Feb:22.1781. AE:100. Hoc Pietatis & Moeroris Monumentum P. Christophorus Atkinson.
