Description
The three headstones at Wheelbarrow Town Baptist burial ground are arranged closely together beneath a Yew tree. The central headstone is the largest and simplest, featuring a curved top with small semi-circular 'ears' on either side. The inscription reads:

Here lie thy Body / of Sarah Wife of Thos / Fagg Who Died Nov / 19 1736 Aged 50 Yea.
On the right is the headstone of Thomas Fagg, featuring a cherub's head and scrolled decoration carved in relief along the top. The inscription reads:
Here lieth the Body of / Thomas Fagg who left / Issue 1 Son and Daughter Viz: / Tho & Sarah he departed / this life April 11 1764 / Aged 75 Years. / I'm only gone a little while before / Prepare, prepare to follow me there.
