Looking more cheerful than you might expect - given that this is a tombstone. The stone commemorates Henry Snell, who died in 1733 - or could it be 1755? Part of the inscription is easily legible, parts are eroded, and may not have been all that clear in the first place. The stone is one of a number propped up against a wall at the south-west end of the churchyard.
