Description

The gravestones date from 1772 and are made of slate. The headstone features shaped heads and includes a depiction of winged angels above the inscription, which commemorates the death of Rebekah, the daughter of Richard and Ann Blight, who died in 1722 at the age of 13. The stone at the foot of the grave displays an hourglass flanked by crossed bones, with an inscription that reads: "my peacefull grave shall keep my Bons till that sweet day that I a wake from my Long Sleep And leve my bead of Clay."
