Description
Cosland Headstone, located approximately 25 meters north-west of the west tower of the Church of St Bartholomew, is a small headstone dated 1717 in memory of Amy Cosland. Made of mudstone, it features a round-headed upright slab that is approximately 200 millimeters wide and 450 millimeters high. The inscription reads in capital letters: "AMY COSLAND BURIED JULY THE 9 1717." At the top, there is a horizontal line with a pair of semi-circles rising above it and a simple cross in between. The bottom of the headstone displays a naive and stylised representation of a cherub, with half of the date on each side. It is likely that the headstone was set in its current position in the 19th century.
