Description
This is a headstone from 1796 made of stone, located 4 metres west of the path from the churchyard gate in Hebron. It features an arched design with a winged cherub at the top. The inscription commemorates Joseph Stobbs of Tritlington, who died in 1805, along with his sons who died in 1796 and 1819. The inscription includes a verse that reads:
"This humble monument will show
Here lies an honest man
You Kings whose heads are now as low
Rise higher if you can."
The carving is of good quality and is well preserved.
