Symbolic Stone in Fenwick Graveyard

This beautifully carved stone marks the grave of Jean Taylor, who died in 1727. The tools shown in the central panel suggest that she came from a wright's family. The two angels indicate life after death. They carry the trumpets of resurrection and one also holds a pen. The hour-glass, skull and crossed bones represent human mortality.
