Notes: 

Decoration above the inscription incised cross within a cirle. Gloria inexcelsis Deo in swag. This ledger slab was recorded by Major J Grove White in  approximately 1892  his description stated this  to be an altar tomb. Several fluted upright suports lying close by at the present confirm that they may have been the original supports for it to have been an altar tomb.
Reverend Johns memorial as is  customory,  is  facing his flock, facing towards the west,  whereas all the other memorials in the cemetery  face east.
