 Description: Beautifully carved stone:  Head of stone – in relief – roman I H S with Omega forming the bar of the H, which is surmounted by a Cross with Nail terminals, beneath the H is a Heart pierced 3 times, all are enclosed in a full Sunburst. On each shoulder of the stone there is a blooming Tree of Life.  The deeply incised inscription is in italic capitals and lower case and is enclosed in a border of repeating lozenge pattern.  The stone is signed W.S. which in no doubt is Walter Skally who has a number of similar stones in the Graveyard
