Sir Vesey Colclough. Baronet (!). (Beauchamps exclamation mark not mine, probably a comment on sowing wild oats JC)
In the name of God, Amen. I, Sir Vesey Colclough, of Tintern Abbey in the County of
Wexford, Baronet, being weak in health, but of clear and perfect understanding. Yet
well knowing the uncertainty of this transitory life, and how proper and prudent it is
for every man to make and declare his intentions as to the disposal of all his
property, do therefore make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby
cancelling and revoking all or any wills heretofore made by me. Whereas by a
settlement bearing date on or about the 13th day of June 1767, my several estates in
the Kingdom of Ireland are settled upon the eldest son of my present marriage,
Caesar Colclough Esquire, as in the manner in the said settlement particularly
mentioned, and whereas, by the said settlement I am authorised and empowered to
raise and levy on the said estates and every part thereof, the sum of £10,000 sterling
and to express my intention therein, and enable my trustees in the said settlement
so to do. Now my will and intent is, that the sum of £10,000 sterling shall be levied in
the following manner, and by the following persons hereinafter mentioned. I do,
therefore, hereby nominate and appoint Caesar Colclough and Francis Graham,
Esquire, and the survivor and the survivors of them and their respective heirs, my
trustees, to raise and levy, or cause to be raised and levied, the said sum of £10,000
from and immediately after my decease, out of all and every part of my estates, to
and for the following uses and trusts, and upon the particular conditions herein
particularly specified and none other. In the first place, I recommend unto my
second son, John Colclough Esquire, to support this my last will and testament, and
to consider it as founded on a proper affection to him, and dictated by a real regard
to his interest as well as the feeling of gratitude and justice. And it is my further will
and intent that if my said son, John Colclough, shall in any manner oppose or
obstruct the disposition of this testament or will, that in such case all and every
benefit hereby intended for the said John Colclough, may be and they are hereby
cancelled and avoided, as if this last will and settlement had been never made, or
the said John Colclough, in any manner to be mentioned therein or benefited
thereby. In the second place, upon the conditions hereinbefore particularly set forth
and expressed, I do hereby authorise and empower my trustees hereinbefore
mentioned, or the survivor and their respective heirs, out of the said sum of £10,000
sterling to assign or make over unto my said son John Colclough, the full and entire
sum of £8000. I do also hereby and in the same manner unto my son leave George
Washington Colclough the sum of £500. I also hereby and in the same manner leave
unto my son Anthony Colclough, the sum of £500 sterling, such sums to be paid unto
my said sons on their respective ages of 21 years. And if either the said George
Washington Colclough, or Anthony Colclough shall die before the said time of

brother, and if the the said George Washington and Anthony should both die before
the respective time of payment, I do in such case will and ordain that the said several
legacies and bequests be divided between and equally belong to my said son John
Colclough and Alicia Harrington, the mother of my said sons, George Washington
and Anthony Colclough. And if the said Alicia should be dead, then the whole of the
said legacies to ensure to the use and belong to my said son, John Colclough. I do

my gratitude for her tenderness and care, and particularly her disinterested and
affectionate attention to me during my illness. I do hereby also devise and bequeath
unto the Revd. Dudley Colclough the sum of £500 as a payment for money due by
me unto his father and my uncle/ and do hereby express my concern that my
circumstances do not properly enable me in any other or fuller manner to manifest
my gratitude unto my said uncle or his descendants. And as I wish and intend this my
will, to fulfil as much as in me lies, the duties of gratitude and justice and equity, I do
hereby devise and bequeath unto Elizabeth Carter, the sum of £100, as a a small
mark of my remembrance of her affectionate attention to me. My will also is, that
the said sum of £10,000, shall from and immediately after my decease bear an
interest of £5 by the hundred, and that the said several legacies hereinbefore
mentioned, and their respective representative or the persons entitled as such under
this my last will, shall and may be entitled unto such interest until the respective
days of payment. And I do hereby charge and recommend unto my said trustees,
and my son John Colclough, to raise and levy and discharge the said sum of £10,000
pursuant to this my will and testament, And whereas upon failure of issue by my
present wife, my said Estates are limited to me and my heirs and assigns for ever. I
do hereby sincerely hope and wish that no such event may take place, but willing to
prepare against unforeseen events, and also to support the family name of
Colclough, I do hereby devise and bequeath all the said Estates, upon such event,
unto my cousin, Caesar Colclough, Esquire., Barrister at Law, and the heirs of his
body, and I do hereby request of, and recommend unto the said Caesar Colclough or
the inheritors of my estates, upon such events, to bear in mind my conduct and
wishes and support, in a similar manner, the name of Colclough, and the
continuance of such estates in the male line of the family. And as a further provision,
upon failure of such issue, I do hereby bequeath and devise unto said George
Washington Colclough, Anthony Colclough, and Alicia Harrington their mother, the
respective sums of £3000 to each and every one of them, to be paid unto them,
within one year after such event shall take place. And of this my will I do hereby
make, constitute and appoint my said trustees, Caesar Colclough, Barrister at Law,
and Francis Graham Esquire., and the survivor of them Executors.
In witness I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 12th day of June 1794.
In present of William Ould, Anthony Wills, John Hyland.
Administration with the will annexed, was granted to John Colclough the natural
and lawful son of testator, Caesar Colclough Esquire, the surviving Executor, and
Dame Catherine Colclough widow and relict, having renounced, 3rd March 1798.

A snippet to get underway again...

I've been on holiday, it was hot in France, passing by Boulonge sur mer made me think on getting going again, I must spend some time in the town and try to find where Caeser Colclough would have stayed.

Anyway on with another random but none the less interesting document:


Address of congratulation from the tenants, November 7th 1872.
On Thursday last a deputation from the tenantry of the Tintern Abbey Estates,
waited on Mrs Rossborough Colclough to present her with an address of
congratulations on the approaching marriage of her daughter, Miss Susanna Frances
Julia Rossborough Colclough, to John Lloyd Esqr., D.L. Kings County. A second
address, with bridal gifts, was presented to the bride elect. The testimonial consists
of a massive salver of richly wrought silver, with a suitable inscription, and a
magnificent necklace with pendant of exquisite design and intrinsic value. The Very
Rev.R.J. Cannon Hagan P.P. of Tintern being requested to read the address said, ”I
feel very sincere pleasure in undertaking this agreeable task, and in being the
medium of expressing the grateful feeling, and heartfelt congratulations of the
tenantry on this auspicious occasion. We may congratulate ourselves on the scene
which we witness within these time honoured walls. It is creditable alike to the
occupiers and the respected owner of the soil. Such reunions are of rare occurrence
in our distracted country, but since animosities are happily dying away, we may
hope, at no distant day to behold Landlords and tenants living united and happy
throughout the whole land. We have here dwelling in our midst an ancient and
illustrious family, endeared to us not only on account of their genuine goodness of
heart and untiring benevolence, but for their hereditary and ancestral claims, and we
have assembled here at present their peaceable, industrious, sturdy, tenantry
without any distinction of creed, who gladly recognise the justice of those claims,
and the equity of the principles that have always guided the Colclough family in the
fulfilment of their duties as well as in the assertion of their rights. We are convened
in dear old Tintern Abbey, interesting for its historic memories and for its matchless
scenery, in order to give expression to our joy, to present tokens of our esteem to
the young and graceful bride elect, to wish the happy couple God speed, and to
invoke the choicest blessings on them and the good family of Tintern. I will now
proceed to read the addresses which very faintly express the warmth of our
sentiments’.
Note: It is to be regretted that space will not admit of the address and replies, being
transcribed here, both one (and) the other are worthy of a place in this collection of
the records of the family.
When the addresses were read, the deputation was entertained most sumptuously,
many excellent speeches were delivered and all were delighted with the cordiality of
their reception.

Newspaper report. London November 30th 1872.
The Marriage of Miss Susanna Frances Julia Rossborough Colclough, second
daughter of the late Mr. John Thomas Rossborough Colclough, D.L. of Tintern Abbey,
Co. Wexford, and Newpark, Co. Dublin with Mr John Lloyd, D.L. Glaster, Kings
County, was solemnised on the 14 inst. at the Parish Church of Tintern which was
most tastefully decorated for the occasion. The bride arrived shortly before one
o’clock, accompanied by her cousin Major (B.H.D.) Colclough, by whom she was
given away. She wore a dress of rich white satin, trimmed with Irish lace; wreath of
orange blossoms, with handsome lace veil and diamond ornaments. The bridesmaids
(six in number) were Miss Colclough, Miss May Colclough, Miss Bella Colclough,
sisters of the bride, Miss Diana Drake, Miss Powell, and Miss Pigott. Their costumes
consisted of polonaises of blue silk, trimmed with swansdown, overskirts of white
muslin; veils of tulle and wreaths of blue flowers. Each bridesmaid wore a handsome
gold locket, the gift of the bridegroom, bearing the monogram “J.S.L.” Captain Jessie
Lloyd, the bridegroom’s cousin acted as best man. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. R.Weldon, Vicar of Tintern, assisted by the Rev. J.L. Lymbery Vicar of Hook.
As the bride and bridegroom left the Church, flowers were strewed in their path. The
road to the Abbey was beautifully ornamented with niches, flags and mottoes,
erected by Mrs Colclough's tenantry. A dejeuner was served in the south wing of the
Abbey (the Crypt) which was elegantly decorated for the occasion. Covers were laid
for upwards of 70 guests. After the usual toasts, the bride and bridegroom started
for the Royal Marine Hotel, Kingstown, en route for the Continent. The bride’s
presents were numerous and costly, including a massive silver salver and a
magnificent diamond pendant from the tenantry of the Colclough Estates; a set of
diamond and emeralds, a set of diamonds and several emerald and diamond rings
from the bridegroom; a massive gold bracelet set with diamonds and pearls from the
Marquis of Ely, a handsome Gold Chain and locket, with monogram in diamonds,
rubies and pearls from Captain Lloyd, a beautiful set of pearls from Mr. and
Mrs.Vaughan, a beautiful locket bracelet from Major Leech, a ring from Lady Marion
Springfield, a gold bracelet from Miss Fanning, a handsome writing case of walnut
wood inlaid with gilt from Mr.Powell, a card tray of unique design inlaid with gilt by
Mrs Diana Drake, a bracelet from Dr Kirkpatrick, a beautifully enamelled bijou watch
from Mr and Mrs Ussher, also handsome presents from Captain and Mrs. Wheeler
Cuffe, Mrs. Hewat, Captain Walker, Miss Diane, Mr and Mrs Deane Drake, Major
Colclough, Mr. and Mrs Weldon, and Mr Eden, etc., After the departure of the bride
and bridegroom, dancing commenced and was kept up with great spirit until 7
o’clock, when dinner was served, after which there was a magnificent display of
fireworks given in the demesne by the Marquis of Ely in honor of the bride under the
able management of Captain Kelly (yacht Zula) dancing was then resumed and kept
up until a late hour. Bands attended from Waterford provided by the Kilteely
tenantry. A Marquee was erected on the lawn in which a large number of the
tenantry danced Irish Reels and jigs with spirit. They separated with best wishes for
the bride, for the bridegroom, and wishing long life and prosperity to Mrs Colclough.
Rejoicing at Glaster, 23rd May 1873, Newspaper report.
Glaster was the scene of much rejoicing on Wednesday. A large assembly of
the tenantry and labourers of the Estate waited the arrival of John Lloyd Esqr, D.L.
and his bride, who with her sister Miss Colclough of Tintern Abbey were to arrive
that evening. Owing to the crush caused by Punchestown Races, they did not arrive
until late. The lateness of the hour gave an opportunity for the houses on each side
of the road to be illuminated, and tar-barrels and bon-fires blazed on the hills.
Within a mile of Glaster the carriage was met by the tenants in large numbers who
followed cheering enthusiastically. At the entrance gates a large bon-fire blazed,
shewing them decorated with flags and evergreens, and over a triumphal Arch a
large flag with “Welcome Home”. Here the crowd insisted on taking the horses from
the carriage, and drawing it to the mansion house. On alighting, after a short
interval, Mr and Mrs Lloyd appeared on the hall door steps, and were received with
hearty rounds of cheering. Mr. Lloyd in a short speech thanked them in the name of
Mrs Lloyd for their kind welcome. He remarked that as she had had a long journey
that day she required rest, but they must all come on some future day to an
entertainment that he would give them, where he would have the pleasure of
introducing his wife to them all personally. The speech was received with rounds of
cheering, and all separated for their homes. On the mountain, Ard Erin (Height of
Ireland), Mr. Lloyd’s property, a large bonfire blazed that could be seen for many
miles round.


Thanks for reading all comments welcome.

A selection of notes from Beauchamp, Bernie and me

More notes of interest, my ambition is to set up a complete database of all the names I have come acros connected to our family...
So this post is another random copy from some documents from my uncle Bernie and Beauchamp...
Note:
In Enniscorthy Church Vestry Minutes Book in 1834, Caesar Colclough who was owner
of portion of the Rectorial tithe, who evidently had a front seat in the Church (pew
number 8), was requested “to lower the seat which has been raised above the level in
the Chancel, as the clergy and congregation are greatly inconvenienced by its
elevation”. There are also in St Iberius’ Church in Wexford Town pews to Mr. and
Mrs. Colclough still to be seen also above the rest of the other pews, probably at the
request of Caesar's wife.
Henry, the founder of the branch of Beauchamp Colclough’s family who was a
younger brother of Colonel Caesar, settled himself in Kildavin next to Newtownbarry
(Bunclody) in the County Carlow early in the 18th century. His eldest son, Dudley,
died unmarried, leaving by his Will his place of Bohermore, County Carlow, to his
next brother, Beauchamp, who also was left by his mother an undivided portion of
the Townsland of Bennekerry, near Carlow, but owing to unfortunate disagreements
between Beauchamp's widow and his mother, the latter, by her Will, left all the
remainder of her share of the “Beauchamp” property, and which was considerable,
to the son of her first husband, Bartholomew Barnes, with the remark that, “that he
always treated her with dutiful love and consideration”.
Mrs. Beauchamp Colclough however was left a considerable fortune by her Aunt
Miss Sarah McCarty, with remainder in moieties for life to her two sons, Henry and
Beauchamp, and their issue for ever. Henry obtained a partition of the Townsland of
Bennekerry, and resided there calling the place Mount Sion. The place eventually
came to the hands of Henry’s eldest son, Beauchamp, whose widow having played
much the same game as Mrs. Caesar Colclough of Tintern, sold Mount Sion to Mr.
Clayton Browne, and it now forms a part of the latter’s demesne.
Patrick the third son of Henry of Kildavin, managed to get hold of that place after his
father’s death, thus ousting the sons of his elder brother, and as I have been told, by
unfair means. My grandfather, Beauchamp, lived at lower Kildavin, under his Uncle
Patrick for many years, but finally joined my father (his son) in Canada where the
latter had received a part of Government wild lands for his military services, and on
which he had settled on retiring from the Army in 1817. Kildavin, like so much more
of Colclough Property, has long passed into stranger’s hands.
A curious coincidence often related to Beauchamp,(when he was a child) by his
father, and in which he was an doctor, occurred in the course of the war of 1812,
between Great Britain and the United States. The morning after a battle fought in
the frontiers of Canada, his father had been sent out with a piguet, to collect the
wounded and stragglers of both Armies, and in the course of his patrol through the
woods he came across a party of friendly Indians, who were dancing the war dance
around a prisoner, whom they had stripped naked, preparatory to putting him to the
torture. On seeing the party of soldiers approaching, the prisoner nerved by despair,
jumped clear over the hands of captors, and rushing up to my father, begged for
God’s sake he would save his life. His father at once placed him in the centre of his
party, and eventually succeeded in bringing him safe into the camp. He proved to be
a Captain Harris of the American Army, who fallen had into the hands of the Indians
the night before, and as they had lost some of their warriors in the fight his doom
was certainly sealed, if it had not been for the accident of the piguet having come his
way. He was exchanged some months afterwards for a British Officer, and rejoined
his own Army;
And two years after, it fell to his turn to repay the kind act he had received at my
father’s hands, by saving the latter’s life. My father was lying on the ground, in the
grey of the morning, after the battle and blowing up of Fort Erie, bleeding from nine
wounds, any one of which one would suppose, would have been enough to have
killed him, when he saw an American officer riding by, who proved to be his former
friend, Captain Harris, and who on recognising the wounded man, at once obtained a
party of American soldiers, and had my father removed to a place of safety, where
he attended him like a brother, as indeed he was, for they were both Freemasons.
My father’s name was sent home among the list of killed, and my mother was
mourning for months, before the joyful news reached her, that her husband had
been spared to her, and was in a fair way of recovery.
Of all the Great Duffry Estate, there now remains with the family, only 4 or 5
Townslands, and the Tithes of some of the Rectories under the grant of 16th Charles
I, together with the houses and premises in Wexford and Taghmon, obtained at the
same time. It would be difficult to enumerate the names of the parties, who now
enjoy the remainder, but the principal of them are, Lord Monk, Lord Carew, Mr.
Bridges, Sir Clement Wolseley, Mr. Blacker, the Harvey Family, Mr. Richards of
Grange, Colonel Phayre, Mr. Cookman, Mr.Cliffe and the representatives of Mr.
Rowe.
Of Duffry Hall, the former residence of the family, there only remains the
foundations, Mr. Rowe's tenant, after our family left, pulled the house down, and
carried off the materials to build a house elsewhere, and even the white stone on
which was inscribed the date etc. of the erection of the house, and which was
inserted in the front wall, over the Hall door, is no longer to be found.
The burial place of the Duffry Branch of the family, is a large enclosure, surrounded
with a high iron railing, with trees now growing in it, in the grave yard of the church
of Templeshambo, but there does not appear to have been any tombstones erected
there. (But in the old graveyard on the other side of the river there are the some graves stones still there thisyear (2002) from Bernie) And the old registry of the parish having been destroyed in the rebellion of1798, there is little there now to tell of the family who were the once proud owners
of all the surrounding country.(save the few Colclough families who possess some small farms in Ballygibbon, Killanne,andBallybawn area my family JC)
Sir Thomas Colclough was given a grant of the lands of Templeshambo
after a period of domination by the Mac Murrough- Kavanagh towards the
end of the 16th century. He settled the lands on his son Dudley Colclough
who resided at Monart. He was confirmed in those lands by Charles I in
1628. He owned in his own rights, land at Kiltealy, Mohurry, Ballybreen, and
Coolacarney, while holding other land jointly with Sir Morgan Kavanagh,
then resident at Clonmullan Castle near Bunclody. He also held Gurteen and
Cromoge jointly with Edmund Hyre while with William Byrne and a man
named Callaghan he held 750 acres in the vicinity of Clorogue and
Curraduff. In 1641, Dudley Colclough as before said, came into disfavour
and his lands were forfeit in the Cromwellian Confiscation. They were
divided amongst the new settlers and those from amongst the Old English
whose loyalty was not in doubt.
Of his land at Gurteen and Cromoge 85 acres were given to William and
James Swanton, 222 acres to Captain John Wackeman, 601 acres to Patrick
Colclough his son; 587 acres to Earl Anglesey. In Rossard, Ballylusk,
Booladurragh, 1265 acres were given to Oliver Wheeler, Henry Kenny and
Earl Anglesey. Wheeler also got 600 acres at Boolamore, Ballychrystal,
Carrignagree and Cloroguebeg. Patrick Colclough and John Cottrell were
given 750 acres at Curraduff, Cloroguemore, and Coolyvane and 458 acres
at “Ffarrandiggen and Ffarrangra (Near Ballindaggan ) were allotted to
Morris and Clayton. Dudley also lost 1400 at “Kiltealy, Mohurry,
Ballibreene, and Coolacarney” to John Cottrell, Matthew Stoddard and
Edward Carey. At Kilcullen, Boligbeg and Shroughmore, Dudley Colclough
and Hugh Brine, who were both described as Irish Papists lost a further 830
acres to Morris and Clayton, Patrick Colclough (Dudley's son) and Henry
Kenny. Much of this land was covered with mature timber and was a great
source of ready cash. Its export to England for the manufacture of staves
and as fuel for the smelters which were recently developed, was lucrative,
although it carried a heavy import duty on arrival.
After the restoration of Charles II most of the lands were restored to the
Colclough family, a notable exception, being that lands at Monart left in the
possession of Messrs. Clayton and Morris, who had set up a smelting works
there. These works were developed by one Colonel Robert Phayre and be
came known as Phayrefield, later changed to Fairfield, It wasn’t until 1818
that the distillery was set up there by Andrew Jameson.
Dudley Colclough died in 1663, and was succeeded by his son Patrick who
resided at Duffry Hall, which had been built about 1627. It was the
Colclough home certainly up to the 1798 rebellion. In 1683. Patrick
Colclough was granted a licence to hold two fairs annually, at Mohurry on
August 15th and October 27th, and a further fair at Wheelagower. As to the
records of Templeshambo some were destroyed in 1798.
Nearly two hundred years after the rebellion, the Church Warden of
St.Colmans, Church of Ireland in Templeshambo, Mr. Ken Hemmingway a
local historian and some others between 1983 and 1990 compiled a
historical record of Priests, Rectors and lay people, of both communities in
the adjoining cemeteries. One of the graveyards surrounds the Church of
Ireland, the other one is 500 yards to the south on the opposite side of the
Shanbo river. There is no religious distinction here,- Roman Catholics and
their Church of Ireland brethren are buried side by side.
In January 1990 a booklet (the fourth in a series) recording the Memorials
to the Dead , in the Diocese of Ferns, Co. Wexford, and some adjoining
parishes, has been compiled by FAS. This book was inspired by the series of
works by Brian Cantwell from his “Memorial of the Dead“. In St. Colmans
(1815) grave yard at the left hand side of the church, the Colclough vault
surrounded by railings are still to be seen (this year 2000). The family vault
is covered over by a mound. Inside the railed mound are buried the
following Colcloughs. This list is taken from the Burial Register (which have
survived ) published in the booklet “Memorials to the Dead of
Templeshanbo 1990.”

Inside the Church at South Wall.
Sacred to the memory Lieut. Colonel. Thomas Colclough Watson,
who departed this life at Dacca East Indies on the
30th April 1834. aged 46 years & 10 months,
He was suddenly removed by Cholera whilst in the enjoyment
of health & the greatest domestic felicity, loved & honoured
By the Officers & Men under his command & esteemed and
Respected by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances,
His virtues, his talents, his liberality & amiable disposition
endeared him to all classes, He was a brave soldier, an active
and zealous Officer, a warm and steady friend, a tender &
most indulgent Husband, a fond Father & a sincere Christian.
He rested all his hopes on the blood and merits of his
Saviour Jesus Christ & when death came it found built
upon this Rock & he was not confounded but submissively
resigned his spirit & his earthly joys to Him who gave them.
He departed in peace
His Officers as a token of their regret & esteem have erected a monument
over his beloved remains in the Christian burial ground at Dacca to which
he was borne by his native non-commissioned Officers and Seboys an
uncommon proof of their love and veneration, for one who the they justly
looked upon as a Father.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
Also in memory of Mary Watson who departed
this life on the 25th August 1834 aged 14 years & 3 months
on board the ship Mount Steward Elphinstone
at sea Lat., 13 degrees 50’ North, Long,83 degrees 50’ East,
She was a lovely and most promising child, gifted with piety,
talents & wisdom far beyond her years, the last months
of her life were passed in Christian submission to her
afflictions & in her tenderest efforts to comfort & assist her
widowed sorrowing mother who erects this monument in
honour of her most tenderly beloved Husband & darling Child.
They were lovely and pleasant
in their lives and in their death
were not divided.
“The sea shall give up its dead.”
On the south side of St. Colmans across the river in the old graveyard, there
are two grave stones side by side, one a Ledger,
IHS.
Here lie the Bodies of
Maryan Colclough,Adam Colclough
Maryan Colclough all infants
being children of Adam Esq.,
he second Ledger has a ladder carved on it and reads,
IHS.
here Lieth the bodies of Marianne? Colclough
alias Wade who departed this life the
24 th of the 7th 1756 aged 26 years
Lord have mercy on her soul.
Near the the Duffry Hall area, in Killann and Rathnure, there are a number
of graveyards with memorial stones to Colclough families, of which there is
no doubt that they are the relatives of the Colcloughs of Duffry Hall, and
Tintern. Some go back to the mid 1700s. There are also Colclough families
still living and farming there to this very day, on the same lands handed
down from their ancestors, and also land which they reclaimed and cleared
on White Mountain(See above these are my family JC).
The principal memorials now to be found in the ruins of the Old Church at Tintern
are enumerated elsewhere. There does not appear to have been any erected to Sir
Thomas Colclough, or his son Sir Adam, though both were buried there, but some of
the inscriptions are quite obliterated by time, and possibly by violence also.
In the centre of the Old Church is a Tomb erected to the late Caesar Colclough by his
