Description
This gravestone is located against the west wall of the south transept, approximately 5 metres south of the south wall of the nave of the Church of St John Baptist in Instow. It dates from the 18th century and is made of slate. The gravestone features a nowy-arched head with an incised hourglass flanked by skulls. The inscription reads: "My death was Sudden But my rising shall To life be far More sudden than my fall Then friends cease mourning And rejoyce for I Lost a frail Life To win Eternity." It has likely been reset from the foot of a grave.
