Notes: 

A Rect. slab with a bow-shaped top and bearing the Masonic symbols - a durdens and set-square enclosed within a circle at the top. It is now recumbent but was a H.S. originally. Inc'd. Ins. and the Masonic symbols are in low false relief. The slab is now facing in the opposite direction to the other stones in the graveyard. The roughness of the lower-most part of the stone seems to suggest that it was originally set upright. The stone was uncovered in 1990. For Masonic symbolism see also Nos. 219 and 314. For HOLLYDAY see No. 410 and for HOLIDAY see No. 378.
