Description
This is a pair of stones marking the head and foot of the grave of Eloner Copp, who died in 1833. They are located approximately 18 metres southwest of the west end of the Church of St Peter in Fremington. The stones are made of slate and have straight heads. The stone at the foot features floriated motifs in the corners and bears an inscription that reads: "Farewell my Husband and Children dear/I bid you all in this world Adieu/For old and young all must appear/When God thinks fit for so to do/If three score years and ten we stay/Tis but a shadow past away/But lands the saints with Christ above/In the sweet sunbeams of his love."
