Thomas and Dorothy Cokayne

Tomb in the south transept of St Oswald's church, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. My 28mm shift lens wasn't wide enough and so I took two images, just altering the shift between them, and merged them in photoshop. I have an interest in this style of tomb and would welcome being told about other surviving examples.
