The Leighton family tomb was designed by John Leighton, and probably built around 1867 following the death of Emma Leighton. John Leighton was a talented and prolific book cover designer in the Victorian period. Made of granite, the tomb is carved with broad flat ribs in a gothic style which frame brightly coloured triangular mosaic panels of ‘memento mori’ imagery, or carved inscriptions. The tomb is listed Grade II.
