Description: | All that remains of Walton's memorial is a panelled pedestal decorated with foliate buttresses at each corner. This is surmounted by the base of an obelisk. The main shaft of the obelisk now lies in nearby shrubbery. Additional Information: William Walton, 39, was returning home from Dean and Chapter colliery on the 8th August 1906 when he saw two boys playing with electrical wires. He was electrocuted whilst detering the children from a similar fate. Attempts at artificial respiration were unsuccessful. He left a widow and four children.(1) | Subjects: | Other | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Stonemason: Swinburn, R. | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7526... | Go to resource |
