A Gardener's Grave at St Quivox

Image: © Mary and Angus Hogg Taken: 31 Aug 2013

This lovely old stone shows the grave of a gardener. The deceased is shown with a spade in his hand, shears on his left and another tool on his right. At the top of the stone there are symbols of death and man's mortality - the two skulls and the hourglass with time running out. Unfortunately the other side is too worn to make out any information.
