Inscription

Photos taken on 21/09/2020. The inscription is very clear and not at all worn. It is a white headstone leaning slightly forward, in front of a small tree. If requested the Inscription can be supplied. There is a small stone noting John Somers his Grandson at the foot of the main headstone.
