Description
This headstone, located approximately 10 metres south-east of St Mary's Church, was erected in 1779. Made of stone, it has a rectangular shape with a shaped head. The east face features a winged cherub head above an inscription panel, which is flanked by wheatear drops. The inscription commemorates Thomas Flunders, who died on January 4, 1779, at the age of 73 or 75 years. It reads: "Sound trumps of God and from the dust A glorious temple raise Where the returning soul shall dwell And sing his Saviour's praise." The west face depicts a representation of a door with four raised and fielded panels, complete with a keyhole.
