WMR Reference Number: 104556
Description: Grave constructed from an unknown polished stone. The main headstone has a semicircular top, below which it has five rosettes carved into the stone also in a semicircular shape. The lettering appears to be made from lead and is affixed to the stone, although a small number of the letters are missing. The headstone should be sitting on top of a large base plinth, but one of the securing pins appears to have sheered and the two parts have come apart and are now seperate.
