Notes: 

The ligatures on this stone can't be reflected properly in the transcribed text. For example THE was enscribed with all three letters linking.  Abbreviations were also used Dd for Died and ye for the.   In the word November, the N was written backwards.  

The headstone shows a Christogram at the top, a simply incised IHS intersected by a tau cross.

This stone is facing Westwards, a position usually reserved for clergy, although no clerical reference appears on the headstone text.  The placing of this headstone is perhaps the outcome of ill-informed graveyard enhancement.
