Description

The Currah tomb, located about 4 metres south of the Church of St. John, is a headstone dating from around 1789 that commemorates William Currah. It is made of sandstone and stands approximately one metre high, featuring an intricately-curved top. The inscription reads: "Here the dear Darling of mine Eye/In Mould beneath this Stone doth lye/Not Youth nor Innocence could save/His Body from the (eroded) Grave/But his triumphant Soul is gone/To Heav'n with Christ to worship (?) God."
