Description

The headstones are now arranged tightly beside each other, under the spread of a Yew tree. The central headstone is the largest of the three and the most simple; it has a curved head, with small semi-circular 'ears' to either side. The inscription reads:

Sarah Wife of Phineas Shrubsole / and Daughter of / Thomas and Sarah Fagg / who departed this life January 12 / 1789 aged 66 years.

A further inscription is illegible except for the words: 'joining our son' and 'Phineas'

The headstone to the left is that of Sarah Fagg, which has three skulls carved in relief across the head. The inscription reads:

Here lie thy Body / of Sarah Wife of Thos / Fagg Who Died Nov / 19 1736 Aged 50 Yea.

The headstone to the right is that of Thomas Fagg, which has a cherub's head and scrolled decoration carved in relief along the head. 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.
