The cemetery, to the south of Dipton, has a rather neglected look yet the grass is clearly tended and has been cut recently. Pottery memorials of the type prominent in the image are quite common in County Durham and were presumably cast from a mould, so much cheaper to manufacture than stone monuments. The heart shaped plate carries the inscription which would be have been cast at the time of manufacture rather than cut afterwards.
