Description
The Henry Memorial is a headstone dating from the early 18th century, constructed in a classical style. It is a modest-sized greystone slab standing upright, though now slightly leaning. The front face is carved with a pair of engaged Tuscan colonnettes supporting a scrolled open pediment; some of the moulded stonework is missing. An inscription is incised on the front, reading: "Here Lieth the body of Felmy Henry. Departed the 7th of Septr. 1738 aged 70 years. Also his wife Meabel departed the 9 July 1760 aged 72 years." The rear face is plain.
The memorial stands within the old graveyard of Cranfield, located on the south side of a ruinous 13th-century church, approximately its own width out from the church wall and two-thirds its length from the west end. The graveyard contains other memorials dating from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The graveyard is entered via a modern steel barred gate set between large boulders abutting stone revetments, with a hedge on top. The headstone commemorates Felmy Henry, who died in 1738, and his wife Meabel, who died in 1760; no specific historical significance or local associations are known concerning these individuals. The memorial stands within the area of a scheduled monument, designated ANT49. The church itself was likely built in the 13th century and was ruinous by the early 17th century. The headstone formerly functioned as a mausoleum, and currently retains that use. It was delisted on March 19, 2002.
