St Mary, Llanfair Caereinion, Powys, Wales
(Click on the image for a larger version)
This was our first cemetery in Wales. Most of the
gravestones were made of slate which is easy to read and the stones were
arranged in neat rows. Quite a few of the stones had the occupation of the
deceased included in the text which is something that is far less common in
England.
The age, 77, has been engraved using two upside down 2's. Had the mason forgotten his stencil for the number 7? Perhaps readers have another theory to share?
