Notes: 

 Description: Very decorative top panel – In relief roman I H S with serifs, the bar of the H is surmounted by a Cross with a Nail top (signifying the Crucifixion), beneath the H is a blooming Tree of Life, all are enclosed in a full Sunburst.  On each shoulder of the stone there is recumbent Heart from which sprouts a blooming Tree of Life representing Christ and the resurrection.   The incised deep, inscription, which strangely has a mix of Roman and Cursive lettering- note the “long” S’s and the ampersands in line three and the last line.   The panel has a diamond pattern at the top and has chamfered sides.
