Harrier Hound Monument to Methusalah Y
ates in churchyard to south of Church
of St. Nicholas with St. John

GV II*
Monument. Dated 1864. Ashlar. Moulded pedestal on base has austere block on top with inscription panels to side and deeply cut relief lunettes on ends carved with trophies of objects of the chase. Lying on top is a particularly well-sculpted harrier hound. The austere base enhances the lifelike quality of the animal. The inscriptions read: 'Sacred to the memory of OLD THU (METHUSALAH YATES) DIED 27TH FEBRUARY 1864. AGED 78 YEARS. He was a Huntsman of Harriers for 50 years, five and twenty of which were by the Rossendale Hunt' and 'Erected by the members of the Rossendale Hunt'.
This fine quality and very unusual monument forms a group with the Church of St. Nicholas with St. John (qv).
