Summary edit

Description
English: Gravestone of the Lancashire Botanist, John Horsefield. This monument was listed as Grade II by English Heritage in 2012. They noted:
  • Historic interest: it commemorates the regionally significant botanist, John Horsefield, a gingham weaver who strove to enable working-men to develop their knowledge of botany, which was seen at the time as the preserve of the gentleman
  • Design interest: the table tomb incorporates richly detailed carvings that directly reference Horsefield's life, including a striking epitaph by the poet Charles Swain, and a depiction of a 'Trigridia conchiflora var. Watkinsoni', one of the flowers that Horsefield hybridised
  • Group value: it has group value with the Grade I listed St Mary's Church and the other listed monuments and structures in the St Mary's churchyard.[1]
