Description
The Leger Stone of Caroline Billing and others is located 0.25 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St Endelienta. This Grade II listed memorial dates from 1717 and commemorates Caroline, Rebekah, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, daughters of William and Mary Billing. The stone is made of slate and is rectangular in shape, featuring a shaped panel with well-engraved upper and lower case serif lettering. The edges of the panel are decorated with hearts and scrolls, and there are four angel's heads in the corners. The inscription reads: "Death with his dart did pierce our hearts when we were in our prime Our parents dear your grief forbear Twas Gods appointed time, That time when we were to remove To Jesus Christ and Saints above, with them to live and praises sing To our alwise eternal king."
