Description
This is a headstone located 5 metres west of St Andrew's Church, dating from 1707. It is made of limestone and features an oval raised cartouche framed by ears of corn. Above the cartouche is a winged cherub head, and on either side, there are skulls with limb bones beneath them. The stone is bordered by foliage, with the edges slightly modelled to follow the profile of the foliage at the corners.
