Description

Only the stepped base of this light grey gravestone remains. We have been told it once had a stone cross bearing the inscription "In Loving Memory", but that has disappeared. Text in lead lettering appears on three sides of the top, middle and bottom steps. Many of the the letters are missing. Commemorates parents, daughter and their WW1 soldier son.
