Description
This is a group of three gravestones located 9 yards southeast of Norbury Church Tower, dating from the early 18th century. They are made of sandstone and feature a similar style, with thick tombstones that have wavy heads and staff moulded edges.
The southern gravestone is inscribed with the details of Robert Hartshorn, who died on January 1st and was buried on January 3rd, 1711, at the age of 70. The central gravestone commemorates Thomas, the son of Robert and Elizabeth Hartshorn, who passed away on July 14th, 1713, at the age of 26. The northern gravestone is more worn and is inscribed with the details of Elizabeth, the wife of Robert Hartshorn, although the date is partially illegible.
These gravestones are included in the listing for their group value.
