Description
This headstone, dedicated to Jane Downing who died in 1789, is located about 16 meters south of the south porch of the Church of St John the Baptist. It is made of sandstone and features a shaped head with a fairly high relief carving of an angel blowing the last trumpet at the rounded apex. This headstone is noted as a late example of the somewhat primitive but charming local folk-art.
