A stone marked 'John Carr Fletcher AD 1897.' This is located on the side of a farm building on the outskirts of Sheffield. It could have been installed when the building was originally built or could be a later addition. The re-pointing makes it difficult to tell. The 'JCF' initials at top of the stone imply a gravestone.'Satis pabuli multum lac faciet' (Latin) is something to the effect of 'there's sufficient fodder to make milk.' As this is/was a dairy area, the implication is that John was a successful dairy farmer.
