Description
The memorial stone, located approximately 40 metres north of the Cambridge to Histon railway line, was erected in 1849 as a replacement for a previous stone dedicated to Mrs. Eliza Woodcock. It is made of limestone and features a square plinth topped with a short column that has a moulded cap and base. The plinth has inscriptions painted in black on three sides. One inscription reads: "In Memory of Eliz. Woodcock, lost on this spot in a snow storm, while returning from Cambridge Market Feb 2 1799. She was discovered eight days after 7 feet beneath the snow alive and in possession of all her senses and died July 24 of the same year aged 42." Another inscription states: "The original stone recording this event being much defaced after standing 30 years this monument was erected by subscription June 19, 1849." The final inscription notes that Mrs. Woodcock was found by William Muncey, the present church clerk at Impington.
