This listing describes a group of eight churchyard monuments located in Bury St Edmunds.

MON 159 is a headstone made of Ketton stone, dating from 1844, commemorating Robert, the son of James and Mary Ann Ely. It is a palimpsest, mostly buried and reused in 1844. The original design is now upside down, as the mason reversed it and reshaped the bottom edge to create a new top. The original inscription in a cartouche reads: "...Christopher (?) son of WILLIAM SMITH who departed this life ...of Feb. 1709 Aged.... Also four of their children."

MON 159a is a memorial to Thomas Jacob, but it is not included in the schedule.
