Description
This is a headstone located 13 metres south of the south transept of the Church of St Lawrence in Church Stretton. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of sandstone ashlar. The headstone features a rectangular slab with a curved top, adorned with a floral motif inscribed at the head above two separate inscribed panels. It commemorates Thomas Cook, who died in 1824, and his wife Ann, who died in 1814. The inscription includes a locally noted rhyme at the foot, which reads: "On a Thursday she was born,/ On a Thursday made a bride,/ On a Thursday her leg was broke,/ And on a Thursday she died."
